DIMAPUR, JUNE 28 (MExN): The Naga Students’ Federation has informed of a “total bandh” in all Naga inhabited areas on July 1 from 6:00am to 6:00pm as a follow-up action to the public rally held on June 28. A press note from the Auditor General of the NSF, Jungithung Yanthan and its Finance Secretary, Shikavi Achumi stated that the bandh is to express “resentment against the life attempt on an NSF official, against the incessant clashes and killings amongst the underground factions, imposition of illegal taxation by the Naga UGs and arbitrary harassment and endangering the lives of innocent civilians by our Naga national workers.”
The NSF appealed to all Tribal Hohos, Women Hohos and the Naga people for support and cooperation. It also appealed to all government establishments, educational institutions and the business community to remain closed as a sign of solidarity to the students’ community. The proposed bandh will be strictly imposed upon vehicular and pedestrian movement, government and private functions/programs or any other related events. However, it was informed that administration, security personnel, medical and press media would be exempted from the preview of the bandh.
Meanwhile the Diphupar Naga Students’ Union has appealed to all institutions/ schools and commercial establishments within Diphupar village to participate and extend their solidarity.
