The All Nagaland College Students’ Union (ANCSU) has today, appealed for exemption of Educational Institutes vehicles from election duty during the upcoming Lok Sabha Election.

In a letter to the Chief Secretary, the ANCSU urged all the district administration and the police department of Nagaland to exempt and promptly release both private and institution-owned vehicles currently fulfilling duties within schools and colleges from requisition for election duty. “We highlight the potential disruption to the smooth transportation of students, particularly during the ongoing internal examinations and with the forthcoming external examinations on the horizon. The continuous availability of transportation services within educational institutions is paramount to ensure the unimpeded academic progress of students,” stated the ANCSU.

By granting exemption to educational institutions’ vehicles from election duty, you would alleviate the potential transportation challenges faced by students during this crucial period,” requested the ANCSU.
