Nagaland Congress raises offensive on “non local” employment

Dimapur, April 24 (EMN): Continuing its bid to highlight the number of what the party calls as “non locals” employed by the state government, the Nagaland Congress on Monday issued another press release stating how 9% of the state’s PWD employees were “non locals”.
Citing RTI reply from the department concerned, the party stated that “the nature” of appointments in said department was highly questionable, and appointment of “non local (non indigenous)” was excessively high.
As of November 11, 2016, it informed:
 Under CE Office Kohima, 26% of total employees are Non Locals.
 Under Central Division Kohima, (i) 15% of total regularized employees are Non Locals, (ii) 75% of total regularized & 100% of non regularized employees were directly appointed.
 Under EE Division Kohima, (i) 10% of total employees are Non Locals, (ii) 94% of both regularized & non regularized employees were directly appointed & (iii) all 713 scale & fixed employees were directly appointed.

“Facts and figures are brought to public domain for government to clarify its position on excessive appointment of Non Locals and to disprove allegation that government jobs in the state are being sold out to Non Locals at exorbitant rate. Citizens also must react responsibly; else children’s education is becoming meaningless and educated youth having no place and purpose in life,” it stated.
