Northeast Desk, 16th March: A Public Emergency has been declared in Eastern Nagaland in response to a total shutdown protesting the delay in the creation of the Frontier Nagaland Territory by the Indian Government.
This declaration has resulted in the suspension of all ongoing State and Central Government-sponsored constructions until further notice. Additionally, tribal bodies and frontal organizations, including ENPO, have reiterated their support for the February 23, 2024 Chenmoho resolution.
They have vowed not to participate in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections unless the Frontier Nagaland Territory issue is resolved before the announcement of the Election Model Code of Conduct, as promised by the Union Home Minister on December 7, 2023.
These organizations have cautioned that the people of Eastern Nagaland will not be held responsible for any ensuing situation. Furthermore, the Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO) has made it clear that they will not accept any assurances from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to be implemented after the upcoming Parliamentary election process.
