Kohima, August 31 (MExN): The Naga Club on Wednesday wrote to the Naga Student’s Federation seeking a response on the matter of the Federation’s tenancy in the Naga Club building.
In the letter, the Naga Club stated that though the deadline of August 27 given to the NSF to vacate the building had expired, “we have not heard anything from your end; it is therefore requested to kindly communicate to us for the action taken.”
Referring to earlier communications between the two organizations, the Naga Club maintained that “non-payment of our house rent has never been made an issue in the past for all these years since May 1983 nor has it been made an issue today, for the same reason.”
“However, with the passage of time, the aforementioned Naga Club property has undergone dilapidation without proper amenities, projecting our Naga people particularly the Naga Club and all that it represents, in a very poor light, as though it were in a deep slumber. It is therefore imperative and inevitable to demolish the existing building in its entirety and build a totally new building, well- equipped with facilities providing all the modern amenities for the welfare of all the Naga communities,” the letter read.
In this context, the Naga Club requested the NSF to respond to its notice and enable the reconstruction of the building for the welfare and interest of the Naga people as a whole.
It also reiterated that the reconstruction of the Naga Club Building is “a long-felt need which is much overdue and imperative so as to ensure a proper and presentable contemporary building at Kohima Headquarters with an earnest desire to rebuild a monumental asset to assert the rightful and distinguished image of the Naga Club and to represent the illustrious legacy of our pioneer leaders and forefathers who had established the organization to represent the Naga people as a whole with much wisdom and foresight.”
