NTC media cell in a press note said that ZPO (N) had lodged a complaint to Commissioner, Nagaland against the alleged issue of certificates to two persons– K. Rangsobe, s/o Peining and Mr. Lunghilang Pamai s/o Ramlan from Manipur, who appeared the NPSC Exam 2016 vice No. 15424 and No. 15663 respectively in the name of Zeliang tribe.
