DIMAPUR, APRIL 20 (MExN): The Medziphema Town Youth Organisation (MTYO) today cautioned individuals involved in the “rampant vandalism” and robberies at Medziphema Town area.
A press note from the MTYO informed there has recently been a spate of vandalism where unknown miscreants have, in a number of cases, forcibly entered certain schools, offices, etc and destroyed properties without rhyme or reason.
A joint emergency coordination meet was held between MTYO, Medziphema Town Students’ Union (MTSU), and both the Principal and Headmistress of Government Higher Secondary School, Medziphema.
During the meeting, the MTYO asked that the responsible chowkidars and night-guards to remain regular, vigilant but most importantly, reside in the premises of their concerned school or office without excuses. “That done, it is more or less the youths who should protect public properties or check anti-social elements”, remarked Nito Krose, Adviser, MTYO.
The MTYO further assured of all cooperation to nab and punish such miscreants without any leniency while requesting the student community as well as the general populace to take utmost care of public properties which are provided by government agencies.
Asazo Kuotsu, President, MTYO, later addressed students during the common chapel session and warned everyone to be “wary of unscrupulous elements in our town” and to pass information accordingly whenever necessary. Also speaking at the chapel session, Kevisese Krose, President, MTSU, challenged the students to consider “public or school properties as our very own and not otherwise”.
Meanwhile the MTYO declared that it would take stern disciplinary actions against any perpetrator(s) who initiate criminal offences, intimidate, vandalize, loot or even attempt arson on instances. It was also notified that any miscreant apprehended in the process is liable to be blamed for all other circumstances, especially in robbery and vandalism, “as is considered in our Naga tradition.”
