- DIMAPUR — Citing
the state government’s failure to upgrade the Khelhoshe Polytechnic Atoizu
(KPA) to a full-fledged engineering college, the All Sumi Students' Union (SKK)
has announced that all government offices within Zunheboto town will be shut
down and movement of government vehicles halted from March 11 “as a
continuation of the peaceful agitation.”
- In a press release issued on Monday, the union allowed
exemptions for “medical, fire, military, emergency services, and educational
institutions.”
- “The union demands the implementation of the Cabinet's
approval of December 17, 2007 (the upgradation of KPA into a full-fledged
degree course engineering college). Since this agitation is for the welfare,
interests, and future of the students' community of the Nagas as a whole, the
union appeals to all the right-thinking citizens of Nagaland to extend support
and cooperation for the common cause.
- “The union requests the public to bear with inconveniences
that may be caused by this shutdown,” it stated.
