The Joint Co-ordination Committee (JCC) has announced that the Tools Down Strike scheduled to begin on October 27, 2025, will be kept on hold, following a meeting with the Chief Secretary of Nagaland.
In a statement issued on Friday, the JCC said the decision comes in good faith, considering that the Cabinet is expected to take a decision on the selection of Non-SCS officers into the IAS.
However, the committee clarified that the ongoing Pen Down Strike will continue until their demands are met. The JCC has requested all affiliated bodies – including the All Nagaland Government Drivers’ Association, Nagaland Civil Secretariat Drivers’ Association, All Nagaland Directorate & District Government Drivers’ Union, and the Nagaland Civil Secretariat Grade-IV Staff Employees Association – to suspend any preparations for the Tools Down Strike until further notice.
The statement was issued by the Media Cell of the JCC from Kohima.
