United Sangtam Students' Conference inspects preparations for 77th general session in Tütheze

KIPHIRE — The United Sangtam Students' Conference (USSC), along with the 77th General Session Planning Committee and federating officials, recently conducted an inspection of the ongoing preparations for the 77th USSC conference at Tütheze village in the Longmatra area of Kiphire district.

The conference is set to be held on the theme “Roots. Reflect. Rise” (Honouring our heritage, embracing growth, rising with purpose).

Adekhing I Sangtam, president of the USSC, speaking to the team, the hosting village, and the planning committee, lauded their diligence, sacrifice, and hard work and encouraged them to put in extra effort to ensure that the session becomes a meaningful and successful event dedicated to peace and unity, as well as the growth and development of students and the wider community.

To mark the gathering, the USSC body passed a resolution concerning the healthcare sector. The resolution mandates that within the Sangtam jurisdiction, no doctor, nurse, or medical staff member shall be permitted to keep a replacement or practise self-styled duty shifting, leaving the healthcare centre with a single or limited staff.

The USSC further noted that due to staff absenteeism and the lack of proper medical facilities, citizens are compelled to travel to distant locations such as Mokokchung, Kohima, and Dimapur. This long-distance travel—often on poor or incomplete roads—puts patients’ lives at significant risk and results in severe negative consequences for the people and the community.

It called upon every concerned citizen and the relevant authorities to ensure that this resolution is effectively implemented for the welfare of the community.
