Imphal, August 21:
After prolong discussion, the Federal Government of Nagaland has formally granted recognition to the Zeliang region as a separate autonomous unit so as to fulfil the wishes and aspiration of the Zeliang people.
The Rongmeis merged into Zeliang region after 1962 leading to the establishment of Zeliangrong nomenclature, said a statement issued by the FGN's deputy secretary L Pishen adding "Now it is upto them whether to fall under the 9 brigade along with the Anals and Tangkhuls or take a new course of action for their future identity".
Appreciating 'invaluable' services rendered by national workers of the Zeliang Region to the ongoing movement of the NNC/FGN, Pishen further called upon them to ceaselessly work towards building a brighter Nagaland.
