It was resolved that Naga Civil Societies under the aegis of the Naga Hoho shall meet Karbi Civil Societies/Peace Forum and the Ahoms at the earliest, to engage in a “people to people dialogue to bring the situation into normalcy in the Rengma hills.”
The Naga Hoho further informed that henceforth, individuals and different Naga Organizations “should not meet Karbi civil societies and others separately without the knowledge of the Joint Naga Civil societies” and that all relief materials should be handed over collectively.
