NRMSATA stir enters day-2

Nagaland RMSA Teachers’ Association-2016 (NRMSATA-2016)’s phase-I agitation in the form of boycotting classes entered second day on Tuesday with no response from the state government or the department of school education. The association launched its phase wise agitation on Monday against non-payment of salary by the government.
NRMSATA president, Renbemo L. Patton, told Nagaland Post that the teachers were hoping for negotiation to take place since the day ultimatum was served on the department. However, he said they were disappointed over the silence of the responsible department, saying so far no meeting or negotiation has happened.
He said if nothing positive comes out by April 20, the teachers would launch phase-I agitation (poster campaign) in Kohima. He said the poster campaign would be carried out in some targeted areas. He said despite the campaign if there was positive outcome, the teachers would stage sit-in protest (phase-III) at the directorate of school education, Kohima.
