NMA intervenes to resolve crisis
KOHIMA, MAY 7 (MExN): The Nagaland SSA Teachers’ Association (NSSATA) has called off its ongoing agitation with effect from May 8, Thursday. While notifying this in a press release, the NSSATA has requested all its members to “discharge their duties from this day on.”
“The agitation has been called off due to the timely intervention of the Naga Mothers’ Association (NMA) at the present imbroglio,” stated the NSSATA. The Association informed that after much deliberation with the departmental heads, in the presence of the NMA, it came to an understanding taking into consideration of all the technicalities, especially that of the student’s welfare.
However, the NSSATA cautioned that “in the near future salaries should be paid regularly at par with any other Government employees with the condition that the amount is sanctioned by the Government of India and that as per the provision of the central government scheme, the state should pay its matching share within the specified time period, i.e., within 30 days after the centre has sanctioned its share (90%).”
The NSSATA has thanked all its district units and its members for their cooperation and support in rendering their “tireless services in spite of all the odds at the call of the Association on its fight for justice.” Further, the NSSATA acknowledged and extended its “heartfelt gratitude” to the NMA for their intervention. It also thanked various apex NGOs, students’ organisations, youth organisations, media personnel, district administrations, well wishers and the general public for “support and contribution towards its movement and look forward for the same in the near future.”
