Imphal: Tensions are boiling over in Imphal East as parents report severe delays in the issuance of Other Backward Class certificates. Families completed the required government online applications, yet many have waited over a week without results. These documents are mandatory for students seeking entry into Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya and Kendriya Vidyalaya.
Admission windows are slamming shut. Parents fear their children will lose their spots despite meeting all eligibility criteria. One frustrated parent stated, "We followed every procedure laid down by the government and submitted the application online. It has already been seven days, yet the certificate has not been issued. Every day that passes brings our children closer to missing the admission deadline."
The holdup appears to be a bottleneck at the Additional District Magistrate office. Parents claim officials failed to grant the necessary approvals, rendering the government's digital services effectively useless. The lack of progress has triggered widespread calls for the Deputy Commissioner of Imphal East to intervene and clear the backlog.
Guardians want the State Government to enforce strict accountability for document processing. They argue that administrative apathy unfairly punishes students. Officials at the Imphal East district administration did not respond to requests for comment regarding the pending applications.
