Dimapur, December 5 (MExN): A committee for “wider consultations” over the women reservation bill has been put in place by the speaker of Nagaland Legislative Assembly.

A note from the Assembly listed eleven legislators comprising the committee, headed by deputy Speaker Ralanthung Yanthan as convener. The convener of the committee has convened a “preliminary” meeting of the newly-instated committee on December 12, from 11 AM in the committee room of the Assembly Secretariat.
