Zeliangrong Ancestral Land Expedition 2014 would embark on a bike rally under the theme "Treading on Historical Legacy" which is a sequel to the Homecoming to Makuilongdi on November 20, stated a release issued by the convenor of Zeliangrong Ancestral Land Expedition 2014 .
Zeliangrong Citizens' Forum (ZCF) and Zeliro Adventure Club (ZAC) will ride across Assam, Manipur and Nagaland starting from Tening (Peren, Nagaland) on November 20 and conclude at Luangmai (Tamenglong, Manipur) on November 30 with an attempt to bring about unity among Zeliangrong, to sensitise on the importance of the preservation of Zeliangrong Inpui culture, to exhibit the areas of Zeliangrong through photos, media and documentary film, to promote adventure awareness among the youth and people and to unearth the history of Zeliangrong Inpui's unsung heroes and legends.
The expedition would also highlight the injustices of being territorially fragmented and politically dis-empowered in Assam, Manipur and Nagaland, the statement said.
The rally would plant a UniTree near Ngam village, at the tri-junction of Assam, Manipur and Nagaland as a solemn pledge to reaffirm their indestructible bond of blood and testimony to the negligence by the three States with a message that only a united Zeliangrong-Inpui can bring political empowerment and the long-awaited justice.
The statement also called for any interested individual belonging to Zeliangrong-Inpui community to participate in the bike expedition.
