Kohima: Nagaland SSA Teachers Association (NSSATA) members on Thursday started their nine-day picketing before SDEO and district education offices across the state. NSSATA in a release said the decision of resorting to a nine-day picket was taken due to the repeated ‘failure’ of the state government and its implementing agencies to fulfil the demands of the SSA teachers in the state. The NSSATA members have been agitating against non-release of their pending salaries since November 2013. (PTI)
