Following a thorough exchange of views, the house resolved to constitute an interim body to steer the revival process, with Aochuba Yaden as convenor, Raymond Ronamai as co-convenor, and Akangjungla as secretary.
The interim body has been tasked with the compilation of a list of working and non-working journalists affiliated with media houses across Nagaland, for which it has sought cooperation from all concerned.
Furthermore, the body is mandated to convene a general meeting of all stakeholders by the end of March 2026 to formalise the association's future course of action.
