Dimapur, November 28 2017:
Extension of Notification by the Central Government declaring Nagaland a 'Disturbed Area' is not necessary as the situation is largely peaceful and the GoI is engaged in peaceful and inclusive negotiations with Naga political groups.
The GoI should do away with the double standard of engaging in peaceful negotiations on one hand and on the other imposing the 'Disturbed Area' tag on Nagaland, if it is serious about finding solution to the Naga political problem.
NPCC supports the demand for removal of 'disturbed area' tag on Nagaland in view of peaceful and inclusive ongoing talks.
On Salary Hike of Village Guards .
NPCC welcomes the recent judgement of the Hon'ble High Court that has directed the state government to hike the salary of Village Guards from existing Rs.1500/- to 15,000/- per month.
NPCC had in recent tour to border districts had committed to raise the salary of Village Guards if voted to power since the existing salary of Rs.1500/- per month was too meager and gross injustice with the kind of security duties and responsibilities the VGs were assigned.
The State Government should honour the judgement of the Hon'ble High Court without further delay.
