DIMAPUR, AUGUST 19 (MExN): The Nagaland Zeliang People Organization (NZPO) has asked the Nagaland government to urgently demolish a foundation stone recently laid by Jacob Zhimomi, Minister for PHED & Cooperation. On August 15, Zhimomi laid the stone for the proposed Aqahuto EAC HQ in Chumoukedima District on land traditionally owned by Lamhai Village, Peren District. NZPO President Kevipeli Heilung has alleged that Zhimomi did not obtain permission from Lamhai Village for this action, and the event was not publicized in the media.
The NZPO claimed that the State Cabinet has not made any decision regarding the Aqahuto EAC HQ, and any such decision should involve consultation with affected stakeholders. It called for the immediate demolition of the foundation stone and the eviction of any encroachers around the site. Failure to comply with this request will prompt the NZPO to take further action, it added.
