DIMAPUR, MARCH 25 (MExN): The State Service Associations of Nagaland State held an emergency meeting on March 25 at CANSSEA Conference Hall at 4:00pm and resolved to begin the proposed indefinite pen down strike with immediate effect till further notice. A press note issued by the Confederation of All Nagaland State Service Employees Association (CANSSEA) informed that this decision was arrived at after thorough deliberation as the government had failed to fulfill the genuine demand of the state employees for implementation of the 7th ROP. It reminded that the State Service Associations had represented for implementation of the 7th ROP w.e.f. January 1, 2016. However, the Associations agreed to accept the implementation of 7th ROP w.e.f March 1, 2017. Although the State Government constituted Cabinet Sub-Committee to resolve the issue the matter could not be settled. Therefore, the Associations are left with no option but to resort to agitation, it said.
