Khiamniungan Students’ Union (KSU) backs ENSF
Khiamniungan Students’ Union (KSU) has extended strong support to the ENSF’s 30-day ultimatum on the state government for the “justification of the 25% job reservation”.
In a press note, KSU president S. Chonta and asst. general secretary Puthai. T lamented that the state government had failed to implement the job reservation for backward communities and neglected to provide equal opportunity in matters of public employment. “We are saddened to say that the Khiamniungans are less represented tribe in the Government offices which is single digit percent in the state govt. services”, it added.
KSU said it had come to know that the transfer of government servants along with the posts in many departments still prevail, depriving and discriminating the Khiamniungans since the inception of the state. KSU has therefore urged upon the state government to justify the 25% job reservation as demanded by ENSF.
