Dimapur, March 20 (EMN): Nagaland Students’ Union Bangalore and the Eastern Naga Students’ Union Bangalore (ENSUB) have rescued five minors and reunited with their families.
It was informed that five students of Class IX (all minors) ran away from home in Nagaland without the consent of their parents and reached Bengaluru on March 7 in search of job. As disclosed by them, they decided to come to Bangalore as they do not like school life.
They managed to book the train tickets with the money they had received during the election and some stolen from their parents. They reached Bengaluru on March 7. It was informed that they lost all their money and mobile phones in the train. With no money, they were trapped in Bengaluru railway station.
It was at the railway station they chanced upon an auto driver, who recommended them a job in a restaurant. They worked in the restaurant for a day and left again since they did not like the job. It was at another restaurant name New Shanthi Sagar where they were working when NSUB and ENSUB reached them.
NSUB and ENSUB executives rescued and gave them shelter until their parents came to Bengaluru to pick them on March 16. All of them are safe and reached Nagaland.
NSUB and ENSUB stated that no minors would be allowed to work in Bengaluru as it is illegal and shall be sent back home. NSUB and ENSUB also expressed gratitude to Rev. Zhabu Yimsung, pastor NCF Bangalore, for helping the unions and offering a shelter to the students.
NSUB president Nuthipru Nienu appealed the Naga students not to be fooled by a glamorous city life style as it is filled with hardship if they do not have the right skill and qualifications.
