Eastern Naga Students’ Federation (ENSF) has reminded state government and NPSC to “urgently expedite” and solve the pending matter of Relise Sangtam, recommended by NPSC as EAC under Sangtam Tribe BT Quota and who was originally not a Sangtam by blood.

In a statement, ENSF president Hawang T. Wangsha also asked the government to strictly implement the successive Order No. AR-8/19179 Dated kohima the 1st June 2009 and order No.RCBT-5/87(Pt-III) Dated Kohima, the 11th June 2012 so that such unwanted and unwarranted misunderstanding did not arise in future.

ENSF cautioned any individual/group or party involving in the case by bearing false witness to Relise Sangtam’s parentage and lineages would do so in their own risk.

Maintaining that the federation was not against any individual/person getting citizenship either by adoption or marriage, ENSF however said it was fighting for the “Rights” as enshrined for the Eastern Nagas by blood.

ENSF requested the state government that henceforth no person or individual, who was not by blood an eastern Naga, be appointed to any government post or programme under the supervision of the government to avoid unwanted confrontation.

Meanwhile, the ENSF also appealed to the education department to urgently advertise all the vacant posts allocated to the eastern Nagas as per the discussion held February 3, 2012 at Niathu resort Dimapur at the earliest.

Further, the federation demanded education department to advertise all the posts of mathematics, science and Hindi teachers within eastern Nagaland districts to be relaxed as open competition so Eastern Naga Students did not suffer from shortage of specialized teachers.
