Kohima, July 3 (MExN): Nagaland State Chief Minister, Dr Shürhozelie Liezietsu on Monday lamented that due to the prolonged Naga political problem many developmental activities have been affected but expressed hope for an acceptable settlement soon, which will lead to progress and development of the state.
The Chief Minister was interacting with the visiting team of 20 IPS Probationers and 2 faculty members from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy, Hyderabad as part of Bharat Dharshan at Chief Minister’s Office Chamber, Civil Secretariat, Kohima.
A press note from the CMO reported the Nagaland CM as saying that Nagaland attained statehood fifty years back but the state could not progress in many ways. However, he pointed out that the Naga political problem is genuine national problem and the Prime Minister is doing his best to bring a solution.
“We are talking to the outfits in a hard and truthful way in order to move towards a solution”, the Chief Minister said. Replying to Probationers’ queries during the interaction, Dr. Shürhozelie said the main purpose of education is to make a person a good individual. Because of high literacy which is not in sync with the development in Nagaland, the youths are joining central jobs like the Indian Army, he stated and rued that because of the political problem many things could not be achieved.
On Tourism, the Chief Minister said that the state government is doing its best to improve infrastructure despite frequent rainfall which hampers infrastructure developments like roads. He added that the state government is trying to improve the tourism infrastructure as Nagaland has enormous tourism potential.
During the interaction, the Chief Minister told the probationers that he takes pride in the uniformed personnel which are capable of tackling any problem today. “You’ll reach the top rung in your service one day, you have a huge responsibility for our Country,” he exhorted the probationers.
The CM meanwhile also stressed on the need to be prepared for any eventuality. He then encouraged the visiting IPS probationers and hoped that they would do justice to their uniform.
