Manipur police trainees, numbering 376, protested against the state Home department at Manipur Police Training Centre at Pangei in Imphal East district, a senior police official said today.
One police personnel was also roughed up by the agitators but a team of Manipur police soon managed to pacify them during yesterday's development, the official said.
The protesters, undergoing training in both sub-inspector and assistant sub-inspector ranks also locked up the main gate of the training centre and barricaded the roads leading towards it yesterday, the official said.
The agitators were protesting the alleged delay in the passing out parade for these trainees who had completed their training on February 16 this year.
The trainees wanted the official passing out parade function be completed before the coming Holi festival, according to a section of agitators.
