Kohima, January 30 (MExN): The President of Nagaland Voluntary Consumers’ Organisation (NVCO), Kezhokhoto Savi on January 28 alleged that the Nagaland State cabinet was never willing to establish Lokayukta in the State despite people’s demand. Savi, who is also the Convener of ACAUT Nagaland (Legal Cell), said that the ACAUT team had met the Chief Minister in person and also submitted the required rules and guidelines to him with a strong demand to establish Lokayukta in Nagaland at the earliest to curb corruption, according to a press release from Press & Media Cell, NVCO. “Despite of people’s demand the state cabinet is least bothered to constitute State Human Rights Commission in Nagaland,” he added.
Savi was speaking at the 19th Foundation Day of Lierie Baptist Youth Department in Kohima. He spoke on the topic ‘Responsibility of a Christian youth in a civil society’, where he said that a youth is anyone who has an ability to grow and build capacity for growth. “A Christian youth is a youth whose life is total example of Christ’s follower in speech, action, thoughts, relational, dressing and living for Christ Jesus irrespective for the challenges around,” he said.
Savi further referred to I Peter 2:11, in which apostle Peter stated “Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your sou.” The Christian youths, he said, are expected to be light bearers and God’s ambassadors.
Savi also highlighted the various citizen rights like National Food Security Act, 2013; Consumer Awareness; Food Safety & Standard Act 2006; Lokayukta; Human Rights; Right to Information Act, 2005; Environment Protection; Child Protection; Public Services Delivery; Nagaland State Consumer Helpline Toll Free No. 1800-345-3701; and Naga Indigenous Peoples’ Rights with special reference to Article 371 (A) of the Constitution of India.
