Dimapur, February 15 (MExN): Following complaints from the students’ community that the present situation in Nagaland is not congenial for them to appear their exams peacefully, ten Dimapur based tribal student bodies in a joint press statement have appealed to the Joint Coordination Committee (JCC) and Dimapur Naga Youth Front (DNYF) to have moral obligations and support towards the students who are appearing their exams.
The students’ organisations had an emergency meeting in this regard, informed the statement appended by Presidents of Dimapur Rengma Students’ Union, Dimapur Lotha Students’ Union, Dimapur Sumi Students’ Union, Ao Students’ Union Dimapur, Eastern Naga Students’ Union Dimapur, Rongmei Students’ Union Dimapur, Zeliang Students’ Union Dimapur, Chakhesang Students’ Union Dimapur, Poumai Students’ Union Dimapur, and Vice President of Pochury Students’ Union Dimapur.
“Various complaints such as eve teasing, using harsh words, thorough interrogations even to the students in uniform and various other complaints have been placed before the unions,” the statement said.
Pointing out that the need of the hour for the students is peace of mind to sit and write their exams properly, the student bodies appealed to the bandh volunteers to let the students pass the check points without causing any psychological harassment to them.
While acknowledging the “pains and efforts” rendered by the volunteers and public alike towards the “people’s movement,” the student bodies requested the JCC and DNYF volunteers and all the right thinking citizens to extend their moral support and solidarity to the students “who are our society’s tomorrow.”
Meanwhile, the statement urged upon the State government to immediately restore internet services in the best interest of the students’ community stating the blockade is hampering the various activities of schools and institutions relating to students.
Calling upon the students not to be worried or be disturbed by the ongoing crisis in the State, the unions further urged the students to instead focus on their studies. They also conveyed best wishes to all the students sitting for their exams.
