Itanagar: An all-parents meeting to discuss matters related to reports of ragging and physical assaults at the Sangay Lhaden Sports Academy (SLSA) in Chimpu has been scheduled for December 19 next in the Judo Hall of the academy.
According to a circular issued by Sports director, Tadar Appa, the meeting is likely to be attended by the parents of affected students, officials from the sports and youth affairs department and staff of the SLSA.
Reports of ragging and physical assaults at the lone sports school in the state surfaced earlier this month following the circulation of a video on social media depicting students’ misconduct.
According to student accounts of SLSA, senior students allegedly subjected juniors to physical assault in the absence of the hostel warden, resulting in serious injuries.
Following the incident, the parents had urged the SLSA authorities to expel all involved students and take further serious action against them.
The academy was also closed for a week after the incident, which the Itanagar police are presently looking into.
