Eastern Naga Students’ Federation (ENSF) Tuesday resolved to indefinitely “close/shutdown” all four districts of Eastern Nagaland from Wednesday onwards in protest against the state government’s failure to implement its five-point charter of demand in connection with teachers’ recruitment process.
The federation has also directed the public in the district to “abstain” from participating in the Republic day celebration.
A letter addressed to the DCs-- Tuensang, Mon, Kiphire and Longleng signed by ENSF president Hawang T. Wangsha and general secretary Changsang Soted stated that all government offices would be shutdown “completely and indefinitely” in all the four districts except administration, medical, educational institution, police, para-military forces and mass media. All government vehicles would “not be allowed to ply, enter or move out of” the four districts until further order from ENSF.
The resolution to “shutdown” was taken during an emergency ENSF presidential meeting held with its federating units (KSU/PSC/CCSU/YAA/KSU/USSC) Monday at Tuensang.
It was adopted as part of ENSF’s phase II “response” to the state government’s failure to implement its demands. While asking the Eastern Nagas to “cooperate”, the letter also warned that ENSF would initiate even more severe phase III boycott if its demands were not met.
The letter reminded that the state chief secretary had already issued a written “Notification” on August 14, 2011, to revert back around 1500-1600 posts transferred along with post outside the region from the SSA/RMSA newly created posts but it was “not implemented” by the Department of school education in the current recruitment process.
It was a direct “negation/confrontation” to the assurance of the state government and the people of Eastern Nagaland, the letter added.
CASU: Chare Area Students Union (CASU) has said they would begin “indefinite” shutdown starting January 25. CASU, in a statement issued by its general secretary Nohochem Sangtam, urged state chief minister and education department to fulfill the ENSF demand or it would continue with the stir.
Kiphire Correspondent adds: United Sangtam Students’ Conference (USSC) one of the federating unit of ENSF has decided to support the ENSF’s resolution to ‘shutdown’ the four districts of Eastern Nagaland. The indefinite ‘shutdown’ starts from 6.00a.m. Wednesday and would continue till further notice from ENSF.
According to USSC sources, all business establishments, offices would remain closed during the ‘shutdown’ and government vehicular movement would also be restricted including VIPs. District administration, police, para military, medical and media have been exempted for the preview of the ‘shutdown’ in Kiphire.
