Students warned: Booze, panties, or heat, you’ll face penalty

If you are a student hailing from the western Angami regions, and you love dressing in high-super-heat fashion, or flee classes, or disrespect your teachers, or like to lose your head in alcohol, or get too saucy, be warned–you are being watched.

And then, forming ‘gangs’ certainly will get you into big trouble too. 

Stating to keep in mind the ‘wellbeing of the daily affairs of the students’, a local student’ group called the Western Angami Students’ Union (WASU) has issued a list of ‘certain codes of conduct for students from the western Angami regions. The organization stated on Friday, July 31, that ‘various detrimental activities are being blatantly committed by the students both outside and inside many institutions’.

The organization issued a press release on July 31, appended by their president, Kevisetuo Rhitso, and general secretary Viwhekhonuo Vielie.

The ‘code of conduct’ has advised students to dress ‘appropriately and decently’, and that any student in uniform found indulging ‘in any immoral activities’ shall be ‘penalized both inside and outside the school’.

Further, any student in uniform found ‘taking any intoxicants or any form of abusive substances shall not be tolerated. Such defaulting students shall be seriously dealt with. Any student in uniform found roaming and loitering about, during school hours shall be thoroughly checked and monitored.

Likewise, students forming themselves into gangs and involving in gang fights shall be seriously dealt with. In this regard the organization has requested parents, teachers and the public to discourage such practices by reporting any gang activity from the students.

The union also warned of stern action ‘against any incident relating to threatening and disrespecting’ of teachers by the students, it also stated that any cases of abuse amounting to harassment of students shall not be tolerated by the Union.

For moneymongering institutions, careless teachers

Coming strongly against some private institutions and hostels managed by individuals who are ‘solely for profit and business leading to astronomical rates of fees with little or no facilities, and the prevailing imposition fines against failed subjects and absentees’, the students’ union cautioned that action will be initiated against such practices.

The Angami students also said to have learnt that some government school teachers were irregular in school, paying little or no concern for the students.

Therefore, the union has said, they are cautioned that the union will ‘thoroughly check and monitor such practices and necessary action will be initiated’.

The ‘code of conduct’ also strictly prohibited the sale of tobacco or any other intoxicants in and around educational institutions. Violators are liable for penalty decided by the union for the welfare of the students, the organization said.


The union has requested students, teachers and the public of western Angami regions to comply and adhere to the set code. Units of the union are asked to monitor and report cases of violations of the stated conduct.
