On the issue of 24% deduction of staff salary under the establishment of chief medical officer (CMO) Zunheboto, the ACAUT Nagaland has strongly urged the state government to take action basing on government notifications.
In a representation addressed to the chief secretary, 25 signatories representing ACAUT Nagaland cautioned that failure to take action, the state government would be held responsible for any unfortunate turn of events. ACAUT has demanded action in the form of additional FIR against CMO Zunheboto and four other employees including an accountant in the form of termination from service for a) deducting 24% salary of the employees under CMO, Zunheboto) flouting government notification against payment of tax by government servants to any other authority other than the state government and c) instigating a factional group to threaten the complainant who filed a FIR against the same CMO and the office of the CMO on the same 24% deduction issue.
On July 11, 2016, the ACAUT filed FIR with Zunheboto Police station against the CMO establishment, Zunheboto for deduction of employee salaries. Accordingly, ACAUT said the CMO obtained anticipatory bail, adding that four other employees including the accountant were in the process of obtaining anticipatory bail.
