Kohima, November 19 (MExN): The Educated Unemployed Union, Nagaland (EUUN) and the Rengma Educated Unemployed have demanded that the state government create separate quotas for Tseminyu subdivision with regard to schemes and projects such as PMEGD, CM’s Corpus Fund, etc., at the earliest. They have also warned that failure to fulfil their demands would compel the Rengma Educated Unemployed and the people of Tsemiyu subdivision to “resort to agitation and highway blockade”.
In a representation to Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio, the president of EUUN, Achilo Thong, and the REU convenor, Tegibu Tep, claimed that the people living under Tseminyu subdivision, which covers the entire Rengma tribe, have been exploited since the inception of Nagaland state. The representation added that while the subdivision, with a single constituency, “is bigger than some cases of two constituencies put together”, the people of the subdivision “continue to be at the mercy of the departments concerned and the screening boards”.
Development is also very slow and the number of educated unemployed is alarmingly increasing, it claimed, and asked the government to give clear directives to the departments concerned in order to stop the “manipulation”. Citing their woes, the unions in the representation urged the Chief Minister to look into the matter and create separate quotas for their subdivision for self-employment and development through such schemes and projects under the various departments as applicable failing which, it warned, they would organise agitation and highway blockade for which they are not to be held responsible.
