CANSSEA Dimapur Unit to enforce 3-day pen down strike

Confederation of All Nagaland State Services Employees Association (CANSSEA), Dimapur Unit, have announced a three-day Pen Down Strike from October 14, 2025, in protest against the inclusion of a non-NPSC candidate in the select list of non-SCS officers for induction into the IAS.
In a circular issued by CANSSEA Dimapur Unit, the strike will be enforced across offices in Dimapur, Niuland, and Chumoukedima districts. The decision follows a directive from the Core Committee and Action Committee of CANSSEA, FONSESA, NIDA, NSSA, and NF&ASA.
The associations expressed concern over the government’s failure to address demands for merit-based selection and transparency. They alleged that the inclusion of a non-NPSC candidate undermines the principles of meritocracy and sets a detrimental precedent.

In a statement, the association informed that all its members have been directed to strictly observe the strike across their respective offices.
