CHANDEL: The Anal Lenruwl Tangpi has expressed its deep dismay and serious concerns over the continued unavailability of adequate teaching staff at Chakpikarong Higher Secondary School.
In a press release, the ALT stated that despite repeated appeals to the concerned authorities, no tangible action has been taken to resolve this issue.
Stating that the aforementioned institution serves as a vital educational hub for students not only from the Anal community but also from neighbouring communities, including the Meiteis and Kukis, the ALT added that the school caters to 63 students, managed by mere five teaching staffs.
“In an era where most parents prefer private institutions, an enrolment of 80 students in a government higher secondary school is a clear testament to the trust and confidence the public holds in Chakpikarong Higher Secondary School. On the contrary, the government’s negligence towards the institution is deeply regrettable and jeopardizes the academic future of the students,” the ALT stated.
The Anal Naga Students’ Union further stated that on 27 August 2026, it met with the District competent authority to find a way forward to this issue.
“Following the meeting, the DC Chandel directed ADM Chandel to write to the SDO Chakpikarong (In-charge) to conduct a field inspection and submit a detailed report regarding Chakpikarong Higher Secondary School. However, to this day, the SDO Chakpikarong (In-charge) seemed to have failed to conduct the require field inspection and no copy of the report has been shared with Union”, the ALT stated.
Consequently, due to inaction of the concerned authority, necessary interventions have been stalled causing deliberate delays in resolving the pressing issue, the student body said.
In light of this persistent inaction, the Anal Naga Students’ Union said it is compelled to questioned if the ADM Chandel had neglected the directive of DC Chandel and failed to formally write to SDO Chakpikarong (In-charge). It also further questioned if the SDO Chakpikarong (In-charge) willfully ignored the formal letter issued under the directive of DC Chandel.

The ALT stated that the situation unfolded due to the reason best known to concerns which have portrayed District Administration as nothing less than Kakistocracy type, tarnishing the image of the whole dedicated bureaucrats posted in Chandel.
Therefore, the Anal Naga Students’ Union urges the concerns to stop with their usual hanky-panky and to know that they are not clowns sent to perform in circus but as a responsible officer to serve the people, it stated.
It is high time that the grievances concerning Chakpikarong Higher Secondary School are addressed and a solution be ensured at the earliest in the larger interest of the students, the ALT said.
