Imphal, August 22 2023:
As many as nine Naga tribes viz; Aimol, Anal, Chothe, Khoibu, Lamkang, Maring, Monsang, Moyon and Tarao have raised strong objection to the inclusion of Chandel and Tengnoupal districts in the proposal to create the posts of Chief Secretary and DGP or equivalent posts for the five hill districts as demanded by 10 Kuki-Zo MLAs in a memorandum submitted to the Prime Minister on August 16 .
"We strongly oppose the demand for inclusion of Chandel and Tengnoupal districts for the creation of the posts of Chief Secretary and DGP or equivalent posts for the five hill districts as demanded by the 10 Kuki-Zo MLAs in a memorandum submitted to your esteemed office on August 16, 2023 and it should not be conceded", said a memorandum signed by representatives of the nine Naga tribes and submitted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Naga populace of Chandel and Tengnoupal have been persistently advocating and endorsing the Framework Agreement signed between NSCN-IM and Government of India on August 3, 2015.While the whole Naga people are yearning for an enduring, honourable and acceptable solution under the Framework Agreement, any kind of administrative arrangement for any non-Naga community affecting an inch of Naga area will not be acceptable at any cost, it added.
