Dismayed by school education department’s response to their demand, the All Nagaland Adhoc Teachers’ Group (ANATG-2015 Batch) said they have no other alternative but to peacefully protest by resuming “hunger strike.” ANATG-2015 had served an ultimatum on the department to finalise the regularization of 1166 ad hoc teachers on or before September 17, 2018. It had cautioned that after expiry of ultimatum period, the ANATG-2015 would be compelled to resume the temporarily suspended “indefinite hunger strike”.
