NIRJULI, Feb 23:The All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) and Students’ Union of NERIST (SUN) on Friday deferred the proposed indefinite strike planned from February 24-27 next, as per decision taken after a joint meeting held here today.

Informing this, Vice President (Admin) of AAPSU Meje Taku said that the strike will now begin onFebruary 27 next.

Taku said that the decision was taken keeping in mind the ensuing Nyokum Yullo festival that is being observed state-wide.

“So far we have received only assurances and nothing in written regarding our demand for a regular director for NERIST. The strike will go on till our demand is fulfilled”, the AAPSU Vice President further said.

SUN President Banta Natung said that the strike has been postponed after discussions with NERIST Alumni Association and NERIST Employees’ Association.

Earlier on January 24, SUN under the aegis of AAPSU had organized a protest rally from the institute campus to Bage Tinali at Nirjuli and served an ultimatum of one month to the Union Ministry of Human Resource Development for appointment of a regular director within February 24.
