DIMAPUR, OCTOBER 13 (MExN): The Angami Students' Union (ASU) has condemned the ragging incident which took place on October 8 at Arbella Boys Hostel, Chasingre, Tura, NEHU Campus, against a student from Nagaland.
A press release from the ASU condemned the “horrific act of the perpetrators from the said hostel, who have not only threatened the safety of the Naga students but also violated human rights within an educational campus.” It asked the NEHU authority to immediately take befitting action against the perpetrators and further appealed the law enforcing agencies to book the culprits under relevant acts/laws.
The ASU said it is aghast to learn that no action has been initiated till now by the concerned authorities despite the matter being brought to their notice. In this connection, the union questioned the institute as to whether it encourages ragging under NEHU campus, which is one of the most reputed university in the Northeast.
While extending sympathy with the victim, the ASU said it would not put the matter to rest until justice is delivered and safety is assured to the Naga students hereafter. Further, the union appealed to the State Government of Nagaland to immediately intervene in the matter and ensure that justice is served at the earliest.
