Mokokchung, November 13 (MExN): The Ao Senden on Friday called off its agitation against the closure of the Chief Medical Officer’s Office in Mokokchung, claiming that all its demands have been fulfilled.
The agitation, which began on October 21, was launched after the Ao Senden issued an ultimatum on September 16 to the Directorate of Health and Family Welfare over transfers, postings and attachments out of Dr Imkongliba Memorial District Hospital, Mokokchung.
Announcing the withdrawal, Ao Senden President Marsanen Imsong and General Secretary Imtipokyim expressed gratitude to the Ao Students' Conference (AKM), Ao Lanur Telungjem (ALT), Watsu Mungdang (WM) and the All Wards Union Mokokchung Town (AWUMT) for their “unflinching support” during the agitation.
The body also thanked the people for their “understanding, cooperation and solidarity” and acknowledged the support of individuals who assisted the movement.
The Ao Senden conveyed gratitude to the legislators from Mokokchung district, Chief Secretary Sentiyanger Imchen, and Deputy Commissioner Ajit Kumar Verma for their “intervention” in making the demands successful.
The agitation had centred on the closure of the CMO’s office and grievances related to staffing at the district hospital.
