Dimapur, November 4 (MExN): Initiated by the Philimi Youth Front, a joint meeting was held with the Philimi Village Council, GBs and other leaders of the village on October 29 at the Village Council Hall.
During the meeting, it was resolved to declare Philimi as a ‘Tobacco Free Village.’ In this regard, the shopkeepers and citizens of the village have been given time till November 30 to remove all tobacco related products from the shelves and possession.
Further, Philimi Village Council Chairman Hokishe and Philimi Youth Front President Huska Wotsa in a press release stated that the joint meeting resolved to identify a certain forest area and declare it as ‘no hunting zone’ in order to protect and preserve the flora and fauna.
The meeting reiterated an earlier resolution of the village council not to sell land to those who do not belong to Philimi village. “Any non-Philimi (outsider) buying land without the knowledge of Philimi Village Council would be doing so at their own risk,” the meeting strongly reiterated.
A joint meeting was also held with the government teachers in the village and decided to strengthen the functioning and administration of the school. The village also decided to accommodate a common study hall for the students in the Philimi Library Hall.
