Some of those who voted YES had this to say:  •    Yes. Up to some extent. As long as vacancy posts are being advertised and exam conducted in a fair manner according to recruitment policy. The minimum qualifications for candidate for all Grade 3 and 4 post should be 10th and 12th passed in line with SSC and other states SSB criteria. However there should be no oral interview. •    All appointments outside the jurisdiction of NPSC shou

Some of those who voted YES had this to say:  •    It is long overdue. •    High time for Equal share of constituency. •    Nagaland cannot an exception for democratic electoral process. Constitutional rights have to be balanced for democracy to survive. •    Because the present distribution is not fair, for the reasons best known to those so-called intellectuals at that time. &b

Some of those who voted YES had this to say:  •    One cannot stop the worship for nothing. •    Need of time •    More vacancies should be created for the doctors. Protesters should demand more post creation , but not revocation of newly 27 inducted and 19 contract MOs. Government made the decision because many doctors were not willing to apply aka serve during COVID pandemic. This was a genuine open ad

Some of those who voted YES had this to say:  •    Yes, Lockdown with relaxations... Interstate movement should not be open, and border should continue to remain sealed. Shops, malls and Inter-district vehicle movement should open with odd and even numbers in order prevent economy from further destruction... School must remain closed and students should be given online class with better internet connection...no student should be promoted without exam ,b

Some of those who voted YES had this to say:  •    Yes. Government is now trying with its optimum effort to improve health care facilities and PDS distribution during lockdown has been increased. •    Yes I agree that Nagaland government are trying their best to protect our Nagaland people but some people they don't understand that, that's the problem.   Some of those who voted NO had this to say: 

Some of those who voted YES had this to say:    •    Yes, but improve for out of the circumstances. Until and unless the present leaders are changed, our state will never progress. •    Yes. But not guaranteed, as the real changes starts from within not outer (of ourselves). So whether with or without pandemic it’s possible only when we change ourselves. Let’s make it happen "Don't waste the good crisi

Some of those who voted YES had this to say:  •    Because at home no one will be serious and I don’t think anyone will follow distances between them. •    If the person is found negative, then it is justified PROVIDED s/he has own washroom /toilet etc separate from rest of household. The rest of the family members should also keep to themselves during this period. •    Because the symptoms are not

Some of those who voted YES had this to say:  •    There is hardly any Corona in Nagaland to justify the cess but since we pay no taxes & if we start paying something, we will be looking out if the job is executed. •    It's a must to fight against COVID-19 financially. •    Reason Nagaland will get all the fund from central government.   Some of those who voted NO had this to say: 

Some of those who voted GOOD had this to say:  •    The lockdown is a system which is providing the best social distancing platform. Some people really don't know how to keep safe distance even though social norms have changed due to the pandemic. As for me, Nagaland police or other officials should put a strict check to maintain this lockdown. Some people use force and violence to implement this; such people should be exempted from this kind of work. Po

Some of those who voted YES had this to say: 604 Yes, I totally support a lockdown initiated by Govt. Of Nagaland as a preventive measures from outbreak of Corona Virus (COVID-19). The first step taken by Chinese Government to contain and prevent the spread of COVID-19 was to lockdown the Transportation & public movement which reduces the infection greatly in Wuhan city. The churches in Nagaland should also support and cooperate with this Order. Because virus don't see any re

Some of those who voted YES had this to say:  Some of those who voted NO had this to say:  •    Obviously No… and our government is just so ignorant about this issue.  •    Forget reliable. There is no infrastructure in the first place. Also panic will kill us before the COVID19 does. •    No I don't believe so. Even more than the minimum facilities that we have, I find that just like in other fields

Some of those who voted YES had this to say:    Yes. But it depends on the wide media coverage by local newspapers. The civil society organisations and rights activists also needs to pick up the issues reported in the CAG Report and confront the Government on those issues. Being a constitutional body, the CAG Reports are prepared on the basis of facts and figures supported by evidence and not on hearsay. The opposition party also needs to question the Government on t

Some of those who voted YES had this to say:    •    Yes. Why not? It's more a question of political will than of government’s ability. At the moment, however, the demand side needs to be sensitized and informed about the "unethicalness" of getting the job through the back door. Some kind of education drive is needed to raise the awareness in every nook and corner about its illegality and un-Christianess across all sections of the public. This is so bec

Some of those who voted YES had this to say:  •     Yes. A rational discussion is missing in the Naga public discourse. Things become very personal and emotional. It is not constructive. We are sliding backwards. •    Yes. Reading the arguments we read in the newspaper it seems all Nagas whether we are former Bureaucrats or politicians or theologians, we all seem to have the same emotional temperament. Naga history is being destroyed and

Some of those who voted YES had this to say:  •    Yes, some changes are beginning to take place. We read that a lot of teams from Nagaland are participating in various competitions. But, I suggest that some streamlining must be done.    Some of those who voted NO had this to say:  •    No. The State Government professed commitment to promote sports last only for a day. Thus, most Naga sports men and women still lack

Some of those who voted YES had this to say:  •    Yes, if the boss reaches first. •    Yes. Some workable system must be put into place. It will work only if it is implemented properly. •    Yes. It’s a good start. But if this most basic thing cannot be applied efficiently, than there is not much hope left for Naga governance.  •    Yes, definitely to some extent. • &nb

Some of those who voted YES had this to say:  •    Yes, bifurcation of department is done just to avail funds for politicians, bureaucrats technocrats, middle men… etc and not for the development of the state in actual sense! Public representatives and servants are mostly Corrupted thieves. They are selfish and self centered. Bifurcation is for creating space for these people!?   •    Yes. Only in our beloved state we see

Some of those who voted POLITICIANS had this to say:  •    The change process must begin with politicians. In Naga culture the role of leaders are important and people look up and emulate individuals in leadership positions. I strongly believe if leaders can lead the change process, the common people will follow.   •    Politicians because they hold the highest platform for influence and power.   •   &

Some of those who voted YES had this to say:  •    Yes. I mean they (in so far political representatives are concerned) continue to get elected or re-elected to power... don't they? •    Interesting Question. Yes. If we really look into the reality, the fact of the matter is even if we do not like the leaders we end up voting for them and treating them as superior human beings. So yes, I should say we trust their money and we are confide

Some of those who voted Political Solution had this to say:  •    I vote for political solution as top priority for 2020. When there is a political solution, draconian laws like AFSPA and Nagaland Police Regulation Act must be lifted. Through political solution there can be peaceful environment and disarmament of arms and this should ensure free and fair elections. Also a political solution means the corrupt system can be replaced and the rule of law can p
