DIMAPUR, JUNE 22 (MExN): ACAUT Nagaland on Thursday said it has no option but to come to the conclusion that the “NSCN (IM) does not want Nagaland people to enjoy the fruits of development.”
A press note from the media cell, ACAUT reminded that it had on June 18, 2017 demanded that the NSCN (IM) clarify within three-day on the allegations that it had stopped the 4-laning work at NH-29 and threatened to burn down the machineries unless tax is paid by the contractors working on AH-1.
It also stated that unless clarification is made by the NSCN (IM) within the time period, the automatic conclusion would be that “the NSCN-IM does not want Nagaland people to enjoy fruits of development.”
However with the NSCN (IM) maintaining silence over the issue and failing to clarify is position, ACAUT said it can only conclude the allegations to be true.
In this connection, the ACAUT stated that henceforth any disturbances upon the firms/contractors working on 4-laning AH-1 by any entity would be a “direct challenge upon all Nagas.”
On their part, the contractors/firms should understand that the Naga people are watching the ongoing works with great trepidation- that quality should not be compromised under any circumstances- and therefore, great care should be taken to avoid misunderstandings, it stated.
