Dimapur, May 19 (MExN): Giving its full endorsement to the CRPO’s stand, Chizami Students’ Union (CSU) today said it will co-operate strongly with the proposed bandh on NH-29 if the power department fails to look into the matter before May 22.
Chizami Range Public Organization (CRPO), on May 8, had served an ultimatum to the power department saying it would impose indefinite bandh along NH-29 and within its jurisdiction on May 23 if the department fails to provide a new transformer before May 22.
A press note issued by CSU President further said that due to constant electricity failure, students are not able to study in the evening and night hours badly affecting their academic performances. “
School students who are presently appearing their mid-year examination are studying from the lamps and candle,” it said.
It also noted that students who recently cleared their HSLC and HSSLC examination are also facing problems in documentation as commercial shops for photostatting and printing are closed due to lack of electricity.
Students studying beyond the town are not able to communicate with their parents for their immediate needs as all means of communication remains inactive due to lack of power supply, it said maintaining that, “Such life of the students in particular and the public in general are not meant to be in this 21st century.”
Expressing its concerns over the negative impact on students and public’s life if such scenario continues further, the CSU urged the concerned authority to do the “needful at the earliest” before the future of the young generation are put in a “dire straits.”
