Imphal, July 12 2015 :
Expressing serious concern over the ongoing tension between the Mao Council (MC) and the Southern Angami Public Organisation (SAPO) over Dz�kou and Koz�ri /Kezol land issue, the Naga Women's Union (NWU) has made an ardent appeal to both the parties to come to the negotiating table for settlement of the dispute and reconciliation in the larger interest of the Nagas.
"We earnestly urge the parties to cease from resorting to any form of violence or to insist on any pre-condition so that goodwill is created for resolution," a press release said on Sunday.
NWU strongly advocates an amicable settlement through Naga customary laws and practices which will establish a sense of secured and shared brotherhood, it said.
" We also urge the parties to proactively embrace the offered service of the Tenyimia People's Organization (TPO) for internal settlement of the issue as both the SAPO and Mao Council are integral part of Naga family and constituents of TPO, NWU said.
It also appreciated TPO's initiatives for taking up the negotiation process on the issue and the Mao Council for their willingness to come together.
