Nagaland Students Warn of Protest Over Delay in Kohima Science College Girls' Hostel Project

The All Nagaland College Students' Union (ANCSU) has threatened protests over delays in constructing a 100-bed girls' hostel at Kohima Science College, funded by a ₹3.53 crore CSR grant from Rural Electrification Corporation (REC) Ltd. Despite the first installment released in April 2023, the project remains unimplemented after three years. ANCSU alleges government inaction and lack of transparency, noting REC has begun refund procedures due to missed deadlines. The union demands intervention within a week to avoid agitation.
