DIMAPUR, MAY 5 (MExN): The Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) is scheduled to organize a public rally on May 13 at Clock Tower Dimapur from 9:00 am onwards. The rally has been organized in order to apprise the public on “the impact of recognition of Rongmei as one of the Naga Tribes in the state, entitling them all the benefits of Indigenous Scheduled Tribes by a Cabinet decision of July 23, 2012.” A press note from the NTC stated that the “blatant decision, which was taken at the expense of its citizens,” is “detrimental to the future generation” and has “hurt the sentiments of the aboriginal people of Nagaland.” Asserting that it is a “people’s subject,” the NTC stated that the people “must know the far reaching perilous consequences of the decision, if not revoked.” It appealed for all concerned to extend their support and attend the said rally.
