Dimapur, June 02 2010: After a month-long stay at Viswema village near the Nagaland-Manipur border, NSCN-IM general secretary will head for Nagaland's Phek district bordering Ukhrul district of Manipur on Friday.

In this connection, the Viswema public will organise a fare-well programme on Thursday at Viswema.

Reports said that Thuingaleng Muivah will be going to Pfutsero in Phek district.

In that district Muivah will hold consultative meetins with the people.

However, it is not clear when the NSCN-IM leader will enter Ukhrul district.

Thuingaleng Muivah has been camping at Viswema village since the first week of May as the state government has been sternly barring him from entering Manipur.

Sources from the NSCN-IM said that Thuingaleng Muivah will definitely go to Ukhrul district.

"We have been patiently waiting for the government of India to control the government of Manipur but how long can we wait ? Our Ato Kilonser (Th Muivah) will go to his birth place in Ukhrul district at any cost.

We will never retreat," affirmed an NSCN-IM leader tonight.
