Imphal: The issue of reservation seems to have polarised the students of Manipur University here after the University Grants Commission (UGC) slashed the quota for appointment of teaching and non-teaching staff and admission of tribal students.

While the Manipur University Tribal Students' Union (MUTSU) launched a two-day agitation seeking revocation of the UGC policy, the Manipur University Students' Union said a democratic form of agitation should be organised rather than unruly protests.
