Nagaland Tribal Groups Plan Protest Over Job Reservation Policy
In Nagaland, five major tribal groups are upset about the state's job reservation rules.
They want these rules to be changed because they think they're outdated.
The government promised to look into it, but now says it will wait until after a census in 2027 to make any changes.
Because of this, the tribal groups are going to protest on July 9 to show they want action now.
They believe the current rules don't fairly represent everyone in today's society.
This is a second phase of protest, as the first phase was suspended since June 3.
Five Naga tribes to resume agitation over job reservation policy.
The Committee on Review Reservation Policy (CoRRP) will hold a sit-in protest on July 9.
The CoRRP demands a review of Nagaland's job reservation policy.
The state government initially promised a commission, but now cites the 2027 census as a reason for delay.
The CoRRP believes the current policy no longer reflects the socio-economic landscape.
