DIMAPUR, APRIL 21 (MExN): The Rengma Hoho has submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister of Nagaland demanding the creation of Tseminyu sub-division into a district.
The Hoho said successive state governments have neglected it since its inception. “The Tseminyu sub-division, headquarter of the Rengma tribe and the oldest administrative centre in Nagaland has been neglected by the State of Nagaland since the inception of attaining statehood,” stated the memo released to the media here by the Kenyuseng Tep, president, Rengma Hoho.
Asserting that the Rengmas had played an active part in the process of political and administrative system and creation of Nagaland State with two members from the community in the interim- body, the Hoho however lamented that they are being “deprived and suppressed by successive government since the inception of the Nagaland state.”
Since the time of British India, the Rengmas have had a separate (bench court) administrative centre and have contributed enormously in the political journey of the Nagas, it said and maintained that like any other tribe, they have the right for an own district, “to decide our own future politically, socially and economically.”
