Academics and writers have urged an official probe into allegations that professors at Nagaland House were subjected to harassment.
A coalition of scholars and literary figures has formally requested that the Nagaland government launch an inquiry into reported harassment of faculty members stationed at Nagaland House. The petition, circulated among academic circles, cites multiple instances where professors allegedly faced intimidation and undue pressure while performing their duties.
The signatories argue that such conduct undermines the autonomy of educational institutions and calls for a transparent investigation to ascertain the facts. They have appealed to the state’s higher authorities, including the Chief Minister and the Department of Higher Education, to intervene promptly.
No official response has been recorded yet, and the matter remains under close watch by the academic community, which stresses the need for safeguarding the rights of educators.
The call for an inquiry reflects broader concerns about workplace harassment in public institutions and seeks to ensure that any wrongdoing is addressed in accordance with existing legal and administrative frameworks.
Further developments will depend on the state’s decision to either commission a fact‑finding committee or dismiss the allegations as unsubstantiated.
