Naga leaders urged to put Agreement into practice
DIMAPUR, APRIL 2 (MExN): The Naga Council, while lauding the signing of the Lenten Agreement, has urged upon the FNR and various Naga Political Groups to put into practice the agreement, for the formation of one government. This was resolved at a consultative meeting of the Naga Council members, its constituent units (Tribal Hoho) Presidents and Dimapur Colony Council Chairmen Federation on April 2. A press note from the Naga Council also urged the Nagaland state government to facilitate entrepreneurs under the umbrella of the Business Association of Nagaland by allotting them rooms in the shopping complex at Forest Colony, Dimapur. The meeting further deliberated for commissioning of a New Naga Cemetery at Zani Village, as the old cemetery has been exhausted. To this end, the Naga Council has appealed for public support and co operation.
Leaders told to uphold Naga Unity
The Nagaland Contractors’ and Suppliers’ Union (NCSU) has appealed for all Naga Political Groups to “join hands together with the FNR to uphold Naga unity under one umbrella for our better tomorrow.” A press note from the NCSU lauded the signing of the Lenten Agreement between the NSCN (IM), GPRN/NSCN and the NNC/FGN and expressed gratitude to the Forum for Naga Reconciliation, under the leadership of Rev Dr Wati Aier. “The different factions have been fighting amongst themselves for many years, which has led to the untimely loss of many philanthropic leaders and innocent people,” the NCSU lamented. It further acknowledged the “bold decision and fearless determination” of the FNR towards reconciliation and termed the signing of the Lenten Agreement as a historic achievement for the reconciliation process.
