Kohima: Volunteers of Angami Youth Organisation (AYO), a tribal youth organisation on Saturday locked the main gate of the Nagaland Civil Secretariat, state Assembly building and some government offices here demanding that Chief Minister T R Zeliang and his cabinet colleagues resign as demanded by NTAC.
AYO volunteers went around various areas of Kohima locking the main gates of the government offices and sealing them with a tag of the organisation, claimed AYO President Neinguvoto Krose.
District administration officials confirmed that some buildings have been locked by the AYO volunteers.
Earlier in the day educational institutions, banks, business establishments and shops had opened in the state capital.
The Nagaland Tribes Action Committee (NTAC) Kohima, after the funeral service of two youths killed in police firing, had on Friday announced that bandh against the functioning of state government offices and vehicles will continue even though restrictions on the general public and other private activities would be allowed.
The bandh against the state government will continue till the three-point charter of demand is fulfilled in toto, NTAC Kohima had said.
AYO was entrusted with the responsibility of enforcing the bandh against the government by NTAC Kohima and Angami Public Organisation, an apex body of tribal organisations in the state, he claimed. (PTI)
