As the students hinted they launch their agitation near the Raj Bhawan and the Chief Minister's official residence at Imphal a large number of personnel were stationed at the two places.
The students of the aided colleges in Manipur were not having regular classes as the teachers were on a fast unto death demanding fulfillment of their demands.
Manipur Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh had said the government cannot concede to the demands of the teachers.
The students said they had decided to take the ultimate step as they were denied education.
