DIMAPUR, March 20: The Naga Students Federation (NSF) on Friday demanded termination of ‘illegal appointments’ in 109 posts in 16 Nagaland government departments within 45 days.
In a letter to the state chief secretary, the federation alleged that these appointments had been executed outside the purview of the Nagaland Staff Selection Board and the Nagaland Public Service Commission from 2018 to 2023, directly violating all procedural regulations for appointments through proper channels.
