Nagaland Post | Agencies | Imphal, Dec 31 ()
Manipur Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh has said that his government will not go back on its decision to create seven new districts a move that has triggered a crippling 61-day economic blockade of the State by the United Naga Council.
The government has created seven new districts for speedy development and administrative convenience and there will be no rollback, a combative Mr. Singh told The Hindu in an interview on Friday. The UNC claims that the new districts in the Naga-dominated areas would encroach upon and divide the traditional landholdings of the Nagas. Dismissing the Naga criticism, Mr. Singh said, A district cannot be mapped along ethnic and communal lines, and no tribe is the owner of the land.
