Advisor for Law & Justice, Land Revenue TN Mannen, members of NDPP Noklak region and others at the consultative meeting held at Jungyam Fishery Farm Guest House, Noklak on January 17.
NOKLAK, JANUARY 19 (MExN): The Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) Noklak region held its consultative meeting with TN Mannen, Advisor for Law & Justice, Land Revenue at Jungyam Fishery Farm Guest House, on January 17.
Addressing the gathering, Advisor Mannen called for a 'realistic and united strategy' for collective solution in order to address the upliftment of Noklak as a whole since both the elected MLAs from Noklak district are temporarily deprived of a ministerial berth or portfolio-going by the present political arrangement-though they are also part of the oppositionless government under the leadership of Neiphiu Rio.
With an international trade center already planted in Noklak bordering Myanmar, Mannen underscored the geographic value of the frontier district and its potential from an economic point of view. He also encouraged the public of Noklak to inculcate work culture by indicating the famed handlooms and handicrafts of Noklak as an example, which is considered one of the finest in the entire state and how its indigenous originality can be preserved and imported even in the international market at the same time.
Stressing on the unity of Nagas as a race, the Advisor pointed that the Nagas as a whole is a small community and therefore should guard this unity and oneness while pursuing their common policies and interests, be it issues concerning ENPO, NTC, CNTC or any organizations.
On the matter of suspension of the FMR along Indo Myanmar border, Mannen said that it is a controversial political issue which needs to be addressed tactfully by both Indian and Myanmar government.
The Advisor also shared his optimism that the people of Noklak will give a resounding mandate in favour of the candidate fielded under the dynamic leadership of Neiphiu Rio in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections which will be held soon this year. He also asked the party officials to gear up and be ready for the task ahead.
Earlier, the welcome address was delivered by P Pheem Shiu, president NDPP Noklak region and exhortations were delivered by Shingnyo vice president; NDPP Nagaland & Noklak region I/C; S Heno, former MLA, CEC 57 Thonoknyu A/C; Tali, president Agri & Allied; President CYO and general secretary NDPP Mkg Region.
