Dimapur, April 26 (MExN): The Ao Students’ Union Dimapur (ASUD) has extended its support and cooperation to the ongoing agitation of the Nagaland SSA Teachers’ Association (NSSATA) owing to non-payment of salaries.
The ASUD assistant general secretary Takowapang Lemtur in a press release stated that the Union is perplexed by the lacklastical attitude of the state government towards the teachers, who are the torchbearers for the future generations. “Pending salaries threaten their very survival and also hampers them in discharging their duties, which in turn reflects upon the student community.” Therefore, the ASUD has urged the department concerned as well as the state government to look into the matter with utmost priority and see that the future of the student community is being secured.
The ASUD further appealed to all the NGOs, student bodies, tribal organizations to come forward and support the cause of the NSSATA.
