Kohima: The Nagaland Tribes Council is demanding the state government finish the stalled 100-bed girls hostel at Kohima Science College in Jotsoma. The project has sat unfinished for years. Students continue to suffer while authorities ignore repeated requests for action.
NTC leadership, including president C Pankathung Lotha and general secretary C Onen Walling, says the council is “deeply disturbed” by the lack of progress. They condemned the careless attitude of the officials involved. The council questioned why a project fully funded by external sources remains incomplete.
Many Naga students struggle to study outside the state. Families sell property or take loans just to pay tuition. Students frequently deal with harassment and a cold social environment elsewhere. Local education infrastructure is the only viable solution.
The NTC pointed toward the state’s percentage cut system as a likely cause for the bottleneck. They warned that if the construction does not move forward, students will be forced to launch peaceful protests. The All Nagaland College Students Union already held a black protest on June 19 to signal their growing frustration.
