Immediately repair damaged schools: AKM

Mokokchung, May 6 (MExN): The Ao Students Conference (AKM) has written to Mission Director Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), Kohima for immediate repairing of school’s building damaged by the recent cyclonic winds in Mokokchung District.  

Many school buildings were severely damaged by cyclonic wind and an assessment by AKM in co-ordination with the concerned department found out that the roof of 6 (six) Schools were blown away or destroyed by the uprooted trees and electric poles and most of the properties and important documents files in those schools were ruined, the AKM highlighted in its letter.  

It further pointed out to the director that most of the students in the affected area are now attending their classes in temporary arrangement made by the community and schools authorities, causing immense hardship to the students as well as the teachers.

In this connection, AKM therefore requested the mission director to initiate necessary action for repairing the damaged school so that the school can resume its normal function and the career of the students are rescued.  

“We hope and have faith that the department under your able leadership will not turn a deaf ear to this application of appeal,” the AKM maintained in the letter appended its President L Jemti Longchar and General Secretary Bendangkumba Aier.
