- KOHIMA — The
Combined Technical Association of Nagaland and the Nagaland NET Qualified Forum
have decided to continue their agitation after two days, during which they’ll
wait for the government to respond to their rejection of the committee formed
to review the regularisation of 147 contractual assistant professors and
librarians.
- “This is to inform all participants of the protest that we
will wait for two days for the CMO to respond to our appeal regarding the
rejection of the committee and our appeal for the revocation of the 17th Dec.
order,” the CTAN-NNQF stated late on Monday.
- It further added that the agitation will resume after the
two-day period and the government’s response, if any.
- “The members of CTAN and NNQF view the decision as
unsatisfactory and insensitive given the ongoing protest. The members
outrightly reject the decision,” the CTAN-NNQF stated in its memorandum
submitted to the chief minister.

- It maintained that the protest will continue till the
government’s order is revoked, as opposed to kept in abeyance. However, the
members later decided to resume the protest after two days.
- Unsatisfied with the Cabinet decision, their initial plan
was to march to the Chief Minister's Residential Complex, but that was
disallowed; therefore, they submitted the memorandum instead.
