The Naga Women’s Union (NWU), Manipur has urged the Mao Council and the Southern Angami Public Organisation (SAPO) to “proactively embrace the offered service” of the Tenyimia People’s Organization (TPO) for internal settlement of the Dzukou land dispute. “With serious concern over the ongoing tension between the Mao Council (MC) and the Southern Angami Public Organisation(SAPO) on Dziiko and Koziiri/Kezol Land issue, the Naga Women’s Union (NWU) makes this ardent appeal to both the parties to come to negotiating table for settlement of the dispute and reconciliation in the larger interest of the Nagas,” stated a press relase issued by the NWU on Sunday.
The NWU urged both the parties involved to cease from resorting to any form of violence or to insist on any pre-condition(s) and suggested that “an amicable settlement through Naga customary laws and practices” would establish “a sense of secured and shared brotherhood.”
We appreciate the TPO’s initiatives for taking up the negotiation process on the issue and the Mao Council for their willingness to come together, it stated.
