Naga group ENPO sticks to demand for separate state in Nagaland
The Telegraph | Kohima, July 24:
The Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO), which is spearheading the movement for a separate state comprising four eastern districts, Mon, Kiphire, Longleng and Tuensang today reiterated its demand for a separate state in response to the Nagaland government’s decision to recommend an autonomous council to the Centre.
ENPO adviser Tongthan said they would prefer Frontier Nagaland state than an autonomous council. “Autonomous council is an old issue which dates back to 1960. It is not a new for us,” he told the Telegraph.
Rejecting further division of Nagaland, the state cabinet has reiterated its position to stand by the four resolutions passed by the Assembly, demanding integration of all contiguous Naga-inhabited areas under one administrative umbrella, which includes parts of Manipur, Assam, and Arunachal Pradesh.
Nagaland government has also earmarked 33 per cent reservation in all employment sectors and educational institutions to uplift these backward tribes. Apart from this reservation the government has also decided to go for a special recruitment drive which is vehemently opposed by other forward tribes.
