Yimchunger Women Organization says no to Saramati Region

Pungro/Kiphire | February 26 : Hundreds of women and citizens this evening gathered at the public ground Pungro for the rally to show resentment to NSCN/GPRN for creating Saramati Region. The rally was organized by the Yimchunger Women Organization (YWO).
Addressing the gathering Joint Secretary, Yimchunger Tribal Council (YTC) said, “We are not against NSCN/GPRN but we are against creation of Saramati region.” He also added that creation of Saramati Region brings social disharmony to the region. Interacting with the press Joint Secretary, YTC said, “Six (6) families come together to form Yimchunger tribe, so the nomenclature should be Yimchunger Saramati Region, instead of Saramati region.”
YAA, YWO, GBs Union Pungro Sub-Division and PFPS also echoed the same line opposing Saramati region and demanded for Yimchunger Saramati region. It may also be mentioned that the Saramati Region under NSCN/GPRN was inaugurated on 1st May 2010 at Salumi.
The programme was chaired by Throngkila Executive Chairman (YWO) while C. Akhala Executive Member YWO said the invocation.
