Imphal, August 19:
The Union Home Ministry, the State Government and the KNO are set to sign the terms and conditions for the Suspension of Operation on August 22 while such an agreement may not be signed with the United People's Front, the umbrella organisation of a number of other underground outfits.
Speaking to The Sangai Express an official source said that Principal Secretary DS Poonia will represent the State in signing the terms and conditions with the KNO while the Union Home Ministry will be represented by its Joint Secretary Navin Verma.
The KNO will be represented by four of its senior leaders.
The venue for signing the pact will be decided by the Home Ministry.
Principal Secretary DS Poonia is presently at Delhi to sign the pact.
IG Intelligence LM Khaute will also be present.
The State Cabinet had given the green nod to the terms and regulations after the KNO suggested some changes in the ground rules.
On the other hand, a final pact with the UPF may be delayed for some time as there are certain differences on the ground rules, said the source and added that the State Govt will not change the ground rules.
