Dimapur, June 14 (EMN): The central executive council of Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO) has asked the government of India to expedite the process of carving a separate state (Frontier Nagaland) out of the present eastern districts of Nagaland.
According to a press release from the organisation on Friday, it had decided to abstain from participating in Indian Independence Day celebration if the government fails to respond to its demand by August 10.
