Kohima, Oct 13 (PTI) The Joint Coordination Committee (JCC), comprising five major associations of Nagaland government employees, on Monday said they will begin a three-day pen-down strike from October 14, demanding that induction of non-state civil service officers into the IAS cadre should not be allowed.

The JCC said that employees will attend the office but abstain from work for the duration of the protest.

It claimed that the Select List for induction into the IAS cadre on September 25, included a candidate who did not qualify through the Nagaland Public Service Commission (NPSC) route and demanded that the name of the officer concerned be removed from it to protect merit-based recruitment.
