Nagaland Recalls IAS Induction Panel as JCC Ends Strike

Overview

• The Nagaland cabinet recalled the panel of names sent to the UPSC for the IAS Select List 2024 and announced a comprehensive review of eligibility decisions.
• Officials said the review will consider stakeholder views and seek guidance from the Department of Personnel & Training and the UPSC.
• The Joint Coordination Committee called off its tools-down agitation after noting the recall decision, which it said satisfied its demand pending formal deliberations.
• JCC’s core demands focused on restoring the March 10 vacancy circular and removing a non-NPSC candidate, as the cabinet noted the March 10 circular lacked approval and a 2020 move was never converted into policy.
• The strike had escalated to a full tools-down action supported by drivers’ and Grade-IV staff unions, with directives to keep transport, health, sanitation, power and PHE services running.
