Aizawl, July 11 2013:
Mizoram state capital Aizawl will witness total bandh on July 30 to be imposed by Mizo Students Union (MSU) against state government's failure to hand over the task of recruiting government employees to the Mizoram Public Service Commission (MPSC) .
Leaders of the student body informed NNN that a total bandh will be imposed in and around the capital on coming July 30 and asked people's cooperation in this regard.
The student body said that as per amendment of Regulations of Functions of Mizoram Public Service Commission (MPSC) in 2011, most of the recruitment is being transferred from MPSC to state government.
The MSU is against this regulation of 2011 and now it is taking steps to reverse the ammendment of Regulations of Functions of the MPSC.
MSU had approaced the state government on several occasions but the latter had turned a deaf ear to the plea of the students' body.
The meeting also resolved to carry out further bandh in every district headquarters if the government is not obliging to the demand of MSU and take necessary steps.
Meanwhile, the students leaders also asked the government to open schools in Saikhumphai Sub-Village for the students between 6 to 14 age group who do not have schools and teachers till today.
