Senapati, December 22 2022:
United Naga Council (UNC) has urged Southern Angami Public Organisation (SAPO) to revoke their stance in order to usher in peace in the region.
In a release, UNC stated that recurrence of the long drawn land dispute between SAPO and Mao Council at regular intervals without a permanent solution has devastated the cordial relationship between the two organisations.
Land dispute is a common phenomenon everywhere because every Naga village shares a traditional village boundary with more than one village.
Although there are several cases of boundary disputes in Naga areas, most of the cases are settled as per the customary practices without the intervention of other forces, it pointed out.
While taking the exacerbation of the situation into consideration and sensing the impending danger arising out of the protracted conflict, the release appealed to both the organisations to refrain from resorting to violence in order to usher in peace and tranquillity.
In fulfilment of what is shared, UNC urged SAPO to 'kindly' reconsider their stance and revoke ban on entry of Mao tribe people within the jurisdiction of SAPO so as to pave way for bringing peace through dialogue.
