Kohima, Jul 15 : The Naga Students' Federation (NSF) has written to the Power Minister that consequent upon the Power Department’s failure to initiate any positive step in response to the ‘Representation’ submitted by NSF on June 14 last, the Federation was compelled to submit this ‘Ultimatum’ to the department concerned for further redressal.

In the letter issued by vice-president Sinhilo Thong and Assistant General Secretary Tongpang Ozukum, the NSF stated that being the apex organisation, which represents the voice and aspirations of the younger generation, it cannot be a mere spectator when such irregular developments takes shape in our society.

The Federation strongly denounced the backdoor appointments in the Power Department and once again urged the Government to immediately cancel the appointments and send it to the Nagaland Public Service Commission for requisition within 5 days so that Naga educated youths are given ample opportunity to compete in the right platform.

The NSF disclosed that in addition to the previous list of backdoor appointments, the ultimatum informed the Minister of more posts added.

It further warned that failing to comply with the genuine demand of the Federation within the stipulated time; it will take its own course of action till justice is delivered to the students’ community.
