Manipur government officials to discuss Naga problems with United Naga Council

Imphal, Jun 23 : The Manipur government has decided to depute an official team led by Chief Secretary DS Poonia to discuss problems faced by Naga on June 30.

The talks will be held at Senapati district with members of United Naga Council (UNC).

Secular Progressive Front (SPF) spokesperson N Biren said a team of Union Home Ministry will also came to attend the meeting.

The talks were supposed to be held on May 30 however, it was postponed.

The state government had asked the UHM to postpone talks with the UNC on the grounds that UNC had refused to accept the invitation extended by the government.

Manipur Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh had stated earlier that making alternative arrangements for Naga was not possible because it could not declare the Autonomous District Council (ADC) as null and void.

Elections were already held and members elected from the area, he added.
