Dimapur, January 15 (MExN): A monolith erected in memory of Late Vesayi Rosetso, who founded Diphupar ‘B’ village, was unveiled by Thenucho, former Speaker of Nagaland Legislative Assembly at a programme organised by the village council to honour the founder on January 14.
With a vision to give to the poor downtrodden section of the society a place to call home, a united Naga village – Diphupar ‘B’ village, was established by the villagers of Diphupar under the leadership of Late Vesayi Rosetso along with LP Therie, the present Head GB and various Naga tribal leaders.
Speaking on the occasion, Thenucho appreciated the Diphupar ‘B’ Village Council, leaders and people of Diphupar ‘B’ for naming Late Vesayi as the founder of the village stating that the wise and exemplary decision will inspire many generations to come. Having known Vesayi during school days, Thenucho described him as a man of courage, determination and self dedicated for public causes.
Thenucho recalled how Diphupar ‘B’ was necessitated to be a government recognised village in 1992 when he was the Speaker of NLA and Late Khekiho Zhimomi was MLA representing Ghaspani-I assembly constituency under the leadership of Late Vamuzo, the then Chief Minister of Nagaland.
Stating that there are excellent virtues and customs in Naga society, which the villagers should explore and make them our ideals for development and peaceful co-existence of the people, he encouraged the villagers to practise the good cultural values of our ancestors for building a strong community and also to share them with others. “Let us inculcate the spirit of sharing and unity to become role models to encounter the forces of division and groupism which are destroying our society today,” he added.
After the unveiling of monolith, one minute silence in honour of Late Vesayi Rosetso was observed. Kahuto N. Chishi, chairman, village council of Diphupar ‘B’, K. Chuba Jamir, former chairman, village council of Diphupar village, Vekhosayi Nyekha, president, Western Chakhesang Hoho, Rev. V.K. Nuh and a family member of Late Vesayi Rosetso presented short speeches on the occasion.
Keve Nuh, vice chairman, CCD ‘B’ chaired the function, Rev. L. Lanu Jamir, Pastor, Ao BCD ‘B’ said the invocation prayer, Vesazo Khusoh, chairman, CCD ‘B’ proposed the vote of thanks, and Rev Dr. P. Dozo pronounced the benediction.
