Yohotsomi Khel B Kezoma observed the foundation day at Kezoma Village under the motto, “Kezekevi-e kelhou rütso” on December 20.
1st Class Contractor, Keduo-o Zumvü who was speaking as guest told the attendance to build friendships among communities that are divided into villages and regions. He called the villagers to bind in different associations which include both times of prosperity and adversity.
Zumvü cited instance that during the past Nagaland was administered as Naga Hills district under Assam and later given statehood. Today, the number of districts has been increased to 16 under the leadership of the present Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio. All these were to bring development and encourage representation of the unrepresented.
The speaker also called for electing the right leader who will think of the welfare and benefit of the public in the upcoming general elections which maybe declared soon.
Angami Public Organization (APO) Vice President (Judicial) Zadeho Rikha encouraged the people to remain united observing the division and disunity in the society. Rikha said that today there were only few elders remaining, he called the younger generation to uphold and practice age old traditions and practices despite receiving modern education and adapting to modern ways of life.
Earlier, the programme was led by Pudezo Yongo and Mezangol Yongo spoke about the inception and foundation of the khel said the khel earlier comprised 50% of the village population of Kezoma Village which had 6 clans. However, for better administration and equal distribution of development and benefits for all the villagers, the khel was further categorised into two khels. The khels have a Goanbura of their own along with council members.
Traditional songs were also presented during the programme.
