Shillong, February 2 (MExN): The Naga Students’ Union Shillong (NSUS) today participated in a peace rally organized by the Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union Shillong here, in memory of late Nido Tania, 19-year-old Arunachali student, who was allegedly beaten to death in the national capital on the night of January 31. The participants in the rally included various student organizations from the North East. The peace rally took off from Anjali and culminated at Arunachal Bhavan.
In a press statement, NSUS president Ketoulhoukho SuohumviiÜ stated that “the rally signified not only the unity prevailing among the student groups on issues pertaining to treatment of people from the region in the so called mainland India, but also the indignation at the brutal murder of the student and the callousness of the police personnel in handling the matter prior as well as post the murder.” The NSUS also expressed its heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family while stating that the Naga student community in Shillong deeply feels their pain.
