Kohima: The Angami Students' Union took to the streets of Kohima on Monday. Volunteers swarmed five major schools to push for civic duty and discipline. The campaign targeted Mezhür Higher Secondary School, Little Flower Higher Secondary School, G. Rio Higher Secondary School, Don Bosco Higher Secondary School, and Ministers' Hill Baptist Higher Secondary School.
The union handed out pamphlets to parents, drivers, and shop owners. They pushed hard on the rules. Section 22.5(f) of the Nagaland Transport Department Rules dictates that government vehicles stay on official duty only. The union expects compliance.
Tobacco sales also remain in the crosshairs. Officials cited Section 6(b) of the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act of 2003 and Section 77 of the Juvenile Justice Act of 2015. Both laws ban the sale of tobacco and intoxicants within 100 yards of schools. The union argued that adult behavior shapes young character. They believe that "ethical values and moral character are shaped by the everyday conduct of adults."
Future inspections are coming. The union plans to keep monitoring the area to ensure accountability. They thanked the community for backing this effort to keep the city safe for students.
