NSF calls for support to July 1 bandh

DIMAPUR, JUNE 29 (MExN): The Naga Students’ Federation (NSF), while appreciating civil societies for extending their cooperation to the protest rally on June 28, urged the public for continued support to the ‘total bandh’ called by the NSF on July 1 from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm.
A press note from the NSF General Secretary, Esther Rhakho informed that the proposed ‘total bandh’ would restrict all vehicular and pedestrian movement, any form of functions, programs or events.


In order to avoid any untoward incident, the federation has once again appealed to all government establishments, the business community and educational institutions to remain closed during the bandh. It stated that “any individual ignoring the fervent appeal of the students’ community will be doing so at their own peril and for which, the federation will not be held responsible.”


The NSF said that the intention of the proposed total bandh is to express “strong resentment against the incessant clashes and killings amongst the underground factions, imposition of illegal taxation by the Naga UGs, against all arbitrary harassment and threatening the lives of innocent civilians and also the recent attempt on life of federation official.” It was also informed that administration, security personnel, emergency medical services and media would be exempted from the purview of the bandh.


DNSU extends
cooperation

The Dimapur Naga Students’ Union extended its “fullest cooperation” to the NSF’s ‘total bandh’ call on July 1. The Office of the DNSU through a press note from its President and General Secretary appealed to the public concerned, educational institutions and business establishments to co-operate and support the Union for the said total bandh. While informing the public that the bandh will be strictly imposed on vehicular movement, pedestrian, and government and private functions, the DNSU stated that Administration, Police, Security Force, Medical Emergency, Fire Brigade, Power Department on duty and Media Fraternity would be exempted from the purview of the bandh.
