Nagaland Teachers Suspend Protest After Student Groups' Request Over Salary Issue

Nagaland government teachers from the 2010 and 2013 batches suspended their four-day agitation after student groups, including the Nagaland Students' Federation and Eastern Nagaland Students' Federation, requested them to resume classes. The teachers demand their salaries be shifted from the Centrally Sponsored Scheme to the State non-plan head, effective April 2026, with written assurance. The Department of School Education attributed salary delays to central fund release issues and emphasized government authority over salary matters. The student federations assured they would pursue the issue with the government.
