Nyiro Range Students’ Union (NRSU) has red flagged the issue of shortage of teachers in some schools, building maintenance and also the Primary Health Centre functioning without a permanent medical officer.
In a press note, NRSU president Zuchanthung C. Kikon and general secretary Yanpothung Ngullie said that these issues were brought to light during an inspection carried out on July 20-21 under Nyiro range jurisdiction.
