The students' also opine that the M.I room which they have destructed was of no use to the students' as it never meet the needs of the students' so the students' were compelled to start throwing stones at the M.I room to demand the new modernized M.I room as per the U.G.C provision.”

The union in the note has questioned the NUNTSA general secretary that “what hatred he has against the PGSU (L) President and Gen. Secretary as the relation between the NUNTSA and PGSU (L) office is good and mutual.” Also, from where did the NUNTSA general secretary received the report that “President and Gen. Secy PGSU (L) led the mob and gave the eye witness report in the media as NUNTSA Gen. Secy C. Mhonbemo was not present at the M.I room on the night of 24th March 2011”.

NSF laments over NU rampage
Dimapur, March 27 (MExN): The Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) expresses its serious concern over the ‘unpleasant incident’ that occurred in the Nagaland University headquarters of Lumami campus on March 24. University students had gone on a rampage and destroyed a medical centre alleging negligence of the university’s services.
After examining the cause for the escalation of situation that led to the rampage the NSF has slammed the authorities of the medical establishment of the University for their ‘Negligence of duty’.
A resolution between the university’s authority and the Post Graduate Students’ Union of Lumami campus was taken in a joint meeting on November 26, 2010. The resolution assured providing 24 hours medical services and facilities. The resolution was apparently never enforced by the NU authority.
The federation however expressed regret over the damages caused by the students and has appealed to the Nagaland University authorities to withdraw the FIRs at the earliest. One, for vandalizing university property and another and for alleged accidental ingestion of Formaldehyde solution ‘attempted suicide’.
The NSF has urged the authorities to extend best services in providing basic amenities to encourage the students to perform their best in their academic disciplines.
