Dimapur, April 9 (MExN): The Rongmei Naga People Organization (RNPO) has formed Rani Gaidinliu Monument Committee to execute projects in honour of Gaidinliu at her birth village Luangkao in Manipur’s Tamenglong district. The Committee was formed during the Central Executive Meeting of RNPO held on March 8 in Imphal.
A press release from RNPO General Secretary, G. Gwangphun informed that after thorough ground study and consideration on the aspect of development that has widely been exercised in the name of Rani Gaidinliu by the Northeastern states, particularly Nagaland and Manipur, it was found out that not a single development project or grant has been appropriated at the birth village of Rani Gaidinliu till date.
“The concerned tribe of Rani Gaidinliu felt deprived, ignored and sidelined for too long. It is a matter of total negligence or refusal on the part of Zeliangrong society and India at large for not planting a project at Luangkao Village and Tamenglong district as a whole to her honor,” the release stated.
Therefore, with much sense of pain and urgency, the apex authority has formed the Committee to execute the planned program as envisioned, it added. RNPO further said that the Committee reserves the “right to assert and prevent any doubling projects from any quarter in the village.” Meanwhile, the public have been informed and requested to cooperate and comply with the Committee in the interest of the people.
