Jalukie, March 28 (MExN): The Jalukie Students’ Union Nagaland (JSUN) has temporarily called off its “indefinite bandh” at Government Higher Secondary School (GHSS) Jalukie with effect from March 28.
The decision was made following “an assurance given by the School Education department and considering the inability to complete the appointment process due to pen down strike called by CANSSEA,” stated a press release from JSUN president, Haizin Mpom and general secretary, Pehiato Hingleu.
The students’ union had called the bandh beginning March 24 to protest appointment of “outsider” to a grade IV post in the school violating an MoU signed between the Old Jalukie Village Council (OJVC) and Government of Nagaland. The union stated that it will wait for the CANSSEA strike to be called off. “However, failing to fulfill its (department) commitment the indefinite bandh will intensify more rigorously,” it added.
According to JSUN letter to the Principal of GHSS Jalukie, OJVC in its meeting held on March 27 resolved to give three days time to the department to “fulfill our demand in black and white immediately after CANSSEA strike is called off.”
