Govt to constitute state women commission soon

Our Correspondent

Kohima, August 21: The government will shortly constitute a state women commission for institutionalizing and safeguarding women’s rights and interests. It may be recalled that women in Nagaland from different organizations and various backgrounds have recently sought immediate attention of Governor Shyamal Datta on the urgent need to set up Nagaland State Commission for women in the state. They regretted that till date, the state government has not set up “this mandatory body for the protection of women in the state.” It urged that the state government set up Nagaland State Commission for Women without any further delay and that the Nagaland State Commission for Women Act, which has already been drafted, be tabled as agenda and passed in the forthcoming assembly session on 22 August for welfare of women in the state.
