Eastern Nagaland Peoples’ Union, Zunheboto (ENPUZ) bans flow of ‘domestic helpers’

Eastern Nagaland Peoples’ Union, Zunheboto (ENPUZ) has decided to impose “ban” on the flow of “domestic helpers” in Zunheboto from six Eastern Naga tribes -- Chang, Khiamniungan, Konyak, Sangtam, Phom and Yimchunger. ENPUZ stated that the decision was taken as a “measure” in view of the “rising concern of abuse” received by the union including “suicide” in some case. In a statement, ENPUZ president Yimso said that the union would conduct a two-day registration drive on March 9 and 10 at Sangtam Baptist Fellowship compound, Old Town near Government Higher Secondary School from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for “present employees”.  The registration fee per head would be Rs. 100, said ENPUZ. The union has asked “employers” to bring “in person and furnish details” of domestic helpers, failing which ENPUZ would take its own course of action.
