Nagaland to revoke order on regularisation of 147 contractual posts
Nagaland higher education minister Temjen Imna Along said this to the Combined Technical Association Nagaland (CTAN) and the Nagaland NET Qualified Forum (NNQF) during a meeting at his home in Kohima on Saturday.
It was also decided to dissolve the committee formed at the emergency cabinet meeting on April 21 to go into the issue, CTAN and NNQF said in a joint release after the meeting. The release added that the CTAN and NNQF leaders attended the meeting on the invitation of the minister.
However, the CTAN and NNQF said if the formal written copies of the revocation order and the committee dissolution documents, as assured by the minister, are not received by Monday afternoon, the agitation against the absorption to the 147 posts will be escalated beyond the level of the previous four days.

Both the organisations will hold an official press conference on Monday after the formal documents are released.
The
Naga Students Federation
(NSF) on Saturday directed all its federating units to mobilise volunteers to assemble at Naga Solidarity Park, Kohima, to initiate the first phase of democratic agitation if the state govt fails to revoke the Dec 17, 2024, cabinet order.
The NSF issued the directive as per its resolution adopted during its presidential council meeting held on Friday and in view of the seven-day ultimatum served to the state govt on April 22, which will expire on Monday, demanding the revocation of the cabinet order.
The federation said it firmly stands against the "arbitrary" and "unjustified" regularisation order, which is detrimental to the future of countless deserving aspirants and undermines the sanctity of meritocracy and transparency in governance.
"This notification is issued for strict compliance in the larger interest of the student community and the future of merit-based governance in the state of Nagaland," the NSF said in a release.

Dadar Kabutarkhana row escalates into Jain–Marathi manus face-off
MUMBAI: The Dadar Kabutarkhana controversy took a sharp communal turn on Wednesday as hundreds of Marathi Ekikaran Samiti members were detained while protesting against the Jain community's demand to allow pigeon feeding. The Samiti members said that they were angered by remarks from Jain monk Nileshchandra Vijay, who threatened an indefinite hunger strike and said he would 'pick up arms' if necessary to protect his religion. Police had denied the samiti permission to protest a day earlier, but by morning, heavy bandobast was in place with barricades, deployment of multiple police teams, and officers stationed outside the adjoining Jain temple.

Protesters engaged in heated arguments with the police, demanding to know why no action was taken against Jain community members who had, last week, forcibly torn down the civic cover around the Kabutarkhana alleged even using knives and scissors. 'This is not a religious issue but a matter for the entire community,' said one protester, adding that if anyone was speaking about picking up weapons, 'they should clarify against whom. We come from the lineage of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and are also capable of picking up weapons. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Compare Spreads: Bitcoin vs Ethereum CFDs IC Markets Learn More Undo Marathi manus will not tolerate this.' The crowd repeatedly chanted slogans of 'Marathi mansacha vijay aso.' Samiti member Govardhan Deshmukh accused the home minister of siding with 'a particular community' and ignoring the concerns of locals. 'We had gathered only to speak to the press and give our representation to police against those who threatened to take up arms if pigeon feeding was banned. We were not here to create unrest,' he said. The confrontation comes exactly one week after the Jain community staged their own protest at the same spot against the BMC's pigeon-feeding ban — a protest that ended with them dismantling the civic cover around the Kabutarkhana. The cover however was again put up by the BMC late on Sunday night. The Kabutarkhana, a long-standing feeding spot for pigeons at Dadar, has been at the centre of a civic drive to curb the practice due to public health concerns. In response to the Samiti's protest, Jain monk Nileshchandra Vijay clarified that his community would not use weapons and planned to protest peacefully — but only after Paryushan. 'When I said we will pick up shastra, I meant we would go on a hunger strike, following Mahatma Gandhi's path of satyagraha. Even if someone assaults us, we will endure it. If anyone believes we are disrespecting the Marathi manus, let me be clear — we will never take up arms. We believe in ahimsa,' he said. He added that while Rajasthan is the community's janmabhoomi, Maharashtra is their karmabhoomi, and they respect both Maharana Pratap and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. 'We are a peace-loving trading community. But if court decisions go against us, we will be compelled to protest. We did not use weapons to cut the Kabutarkhana cover — it was cut with a sharp tool used for cutting pipes. Even at Vile Parle, when our temple was demolished, 40,000 of us gathered and protested peacefully without weapons,' he said. Calling MNS chief Raj Thackeray 'the god of the Marathi language,' the monk urged him to intervene and end the controversy.

Naga students seek ILP ban on Assam evictees
Dimapur: Naga Students' Federation (NSF) has urged the Nagaland govt to immediately cancel all ILPs issued to people from Assam districts affected by the ongoing eviction drive that began on July 29, reports Bhadra Gogoi. In a representation to the chief secretary dated Aug 11, the NSF also demanded retroactive nullification of ILPs issued from that date onward to prevent enforcement loopholes. The eviction, described as Assam's largest to date, targets over 11,000 bighas of encroached forest land in the Rengma Reserve Forest under Uriamghat in Golaghat district, near the Assam-Nagaland border. The operation, involving thousands of personnel and heavy machinery, has led to mass displacement — predominantly of Bengali-speaking Muslim families from central Assam.

Pakistan will not allow India to snatch 'even one drop' of its water: PM Sharif
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday said India would not be allowed to snatch "even one drop" of water belonging to Pakistan, amid tensions between the two neighbours. A day after the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, India took a series of punitive measures against Pakistan that included putting the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) of 1960 in "abeyance".

He warned that if India attempted such an act, "you will be again taught such a lesson that you will be left holding your ears." Live Events A day earlier, former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari termed the IWT's suspension an attack on the Indus Valley Civilisation and said the nation would not back down if New Delhi forced it into war. In an address to the Pakistani diaspora in Tampa, Florida, Army Chief Asim Munir reportedly said Islamabad would destroy any dam if it cut off water flow to Pakistan. "We will wait for India to build a dam, and when they do so, we will destroy it," he was quoted as saying by the Dawn newspaper. "The Indus River is not the Indians' family property. We have no shortage of resources to undo the Indian designs to stop the river." India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians. India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to end the conflict after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes.
