DIMAPUR, NOVEMBER 17 (MExN): Nagaland State Chief Minister, TR Zeliang today said that Nagas cannot afford to bestow the legacy of factionalism and drawn-out Naga political issue unresolved to the younger generation.
In Jalukie today, the CM said that factionalism has created chaos and emasculated the Nagas in its sustained struggle for self determination and reiterated his appeal to all Naga political groups to come together and collectively strive for speedy settlement of the fluid Naga political problem.
The CM further stated that the only way out for the Nagas from factionalism is an early solution and the only way to early solution is a collective effort.
Meanwhile, he stated that Nagaland is now at the threshold of “rapid progress” since many major projects, especially regarding road connectivity are in the pipeline. He disclosed that Nagaland received the highest approval in the road sector among the NE states.
He also informed that the Nagaland Vision Documents for the next 25 years will be released during Hornbill Festival by the Chairman of NITI AYOG.
Soliciting the support of land owners for developmental projects, the CM stated: “If people want development they must also be willing to sacrifice.” He added that Jalukie, with its rich land resources, has the potential to become an important commercial hub, provided its people are willing to work hard and exploit resources judiciously.
