Chandel, July 02 2014:
Chandel Naga People's Organization (CNPO) has locked up the office of Zonal Education Officer (ZEO), Chandel, following the failure of the ZEO F Lalzuithangi to attend a meeting convened by CNPO at its office premises today.
Briefing media in this regard, Information and Publicity Secretary of CNPO M John Chothe said that the CNPO had notified to all ranks and files of the district education department including the ZEO for a meeting to deliberate on various issues including revamping of the District Education Board (DEB), which had remained defunct for the last many years by issuing a notification on June 25 last.
However, the ZEO failed to comply with the notification.
John Chothe alleged that the ZEO had not only failed to communicate to the organization regarding her inability to attend the meeting but had also switched off her mobile.
So, the meeting which was attended by the staffs of the department could not made head way.
He further informed that a fresh meeting has been convened on June 10 wherein the ZEO has to make herself present and also the office will be shut until a reasonable clarification is received from the ZEO.
It may be mentioned that the Chandel ZEO office under its head F.Lalzuithangi was in the news last year on August 20 when the Naga Students Union Chandel (NSUC) locked the office demanding regularity in the attendance of the officer, who was alleged of absence from office for more than 4 months.
