Overview

• CoRRP announced it will enforce an indefinite shutdown if the government fails to constitute a reservation-review commission within 10 days.
• Leaders said the shutdown would begin on October 1 across eight districts, including Kohima, Dimapur, Mokokchung, Wokha, Chumoukedima, Niuland and Zunheboto.
• Member secretary G K Zhimomi said the cabinet agreed in principle on June 12 to form the panel after a June 3 meeting chaired by Deputy Chief Minister Y Patton.
• The coalition opposes proposed civil-society nominations to the commission and is pressing for a composition it deems neutral.
• CoRRP has staged protests and declared non-cooperation since April, seeking a full review of a policy introduced in 1977 that expanded from 25% to 37% reservations.
