Kohima: The Ao Students Conference held a consultative meeting with the District Child Protection Unit and Child Helpline 1098 on Friday in Mokokchung. The session aimed to improve how local agencies handle urgent issues affecting students, such as bullying, child abuse, and conflicts within schools or hostels.

Representatives from the student organization and protection agencies agreed that creating a safe environment requires a team effort. This approach will involve parents, teachers, and school administrators working alongside welfare authorities.
