Naro clan formally restores identity as Vero clan

DIMAPUR — Members of the Naro clan in Dzülhami village under Phek district have formally resolved to restore their original identity as the Vero clan during a declaration programme held on Tuesday.

Historically known as the Vero clan, the group had come to be identified as the Naro clan due to certain circumstances over the years, a press statement stated.

However, after careful deliberation and collective consensus, the community decided to revert to its original nomenclature.

A total of 51 households, comprising 235 members, unanimously made a formal declaration, affirming that they shall henceforth be known and addressed as members of the Vero clan.
