Nagaland Chief Minister, Dr Sh�rhozelie Liezietsu on Monday lamented that due to the prolonged Naga political problem many developmental activities have been retarded but hoped that very soon the issue will arrive at an acceptable settlement which will lead to progress and development of “our State”, according to a statement issued by the Nagaland Chief Minister’s Office today .

Dr Sh�rhozelie said that Nagaland attained Statehood fifty years back but the State could not progress in many ways.
However, he pointed out that since the Naga political problem is a genuine National problem, the Prime Minister is doing his best to bring a solution .
"We are talking to the outfits in a hard and truthful way in order to move towards a solution", the Chief Minister said .
Replying to the probationers' queries during the interaction, Dr Sh�rhozelie said the main purpose of education is to make a person a good individual.
Because of high literacy which is not in sync with the development in Nagaland, the youth are joining Central jobs like the Indian Army and rued that because of the political problem many things could not be achieved .
On tourism, the Chief Minister said that the State Government is doing its best to improve infrastructure despite frequent rainfall which hampers infrastructure developments like roads.
