Senapati, February 14 2017:
The United Naga Council (UNC) has extended greetings on the occasion of the Naga seed sowing festival 'Lui-Ngai-Ni' .
"May this year be a prosperous and harmonious year," UNC said.
It also informed that, unlike previous year, where UNC sponsored celebration is held on annually in Naga district, UNC in its president council meeting held on January 7 decided to celebrate this year's Lui-Ngai-Ni celebration in their own respective district due to the prevailing situation.
Moreover, as per 2010 July Naga People's Convention (NPC) whereby it declared severing all political ties with the Government of Manipur, the Nagas of Manipur have decided to disown the celebration organized and sponsored by the State Government and that any official Lui-Ngai-Ni celebration will be held purely without the State Government's support, it said.
In Senapati district, Lui-Ngai-Ni celebration will be held at Katomei village community hall by NPO under the theme 'Towards a culture of peace' .
Senapati ADC Chairman ML Markson will be chief guest and Senapati ADC Vice Chairman T John Hingba will be the guest of honor of the programme.
