Imphal/Dimapur, November 29 2011: Three Naga underground organisations including the NSCN faction led by Khole and Kitovi (GPRN/NSCN), NNC/FGN and NSCN-IM have started taking up measures for the formation of the common Naga underground government christened as Naga National Government (NNG).

On Tuesday, the signatories of the "Naga Concordant" met at Dimapur and agreed to take gradual and practical measures towards the formation of one Naga National Government.

As a preliminary step towards creating understanding and cooperation amongst the signatories, the meeting agreed to jointly fight against rampant collection of tax, kidnapping, abduction, threats, intimidation, rape and other social evils.

It also agreed to take stringent measures against its own cadres that are involved in criminal acts which are detrimental to the orderly pursuit of the Naga national cause.

The three underground groups then agreed that in the eventuality of any crisis, the responsible leader of each delegation should telephon the respective counterpart of the other delegations [including FNR] within one hour of the crisis for verification and resolution of the problem.

It finally agreed that any member of the signatory arrested or detained by another signatory should be treated with due dignity and respect, and in accordance with international standards of human rights.

No detainee should be physically abused or tortured.

In order to fulfill these agreed areas of cooperation, Gen (retd) VS Atem, Q Tuccu, Rh Raising, Brig Joshua, Col Akhui of NSCN/GPRN, Zhopra Vero, Puthai Lam, Nillo Sheyipu, Hekhuvi Achumi, Lt Gen TM Rhakho of NNC/FGN and Azheto Chophy, C Singson, Alezo Venuh, Huthrong Yumchingru, Brig Vihoto of GPRN/NSCN will have direct access to each other with full official powers to make decisions regarding the above points, the joint statement of NNC/FGN, NSCN (Khole-Kitovi) and the NSCN-IM said.

It may be mentioned here that on August 26, the three Naga underground groups--NSCN-IM, NNC and NSCN-Khole/Kitovi had agreed upon in "principle to work towards in the formation of their single government.

On that day, the top leaders of the three Naga outfits signed a 'concordant' to work towards the formation of the single underground government which has been proposed to call "Naga National Government (NNG)" .
