- DIMAPUR — The
Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) has congratulated the
organisers of the first Nagaland Super League (NSL), led by the Chief Minister,
the Government of Nagaland, the Nagaland Olympic Association, the Department of
Youth Resources & Sports, the Nagaland Football Association, all the
sponsors, and the clubs and their respective managements for successfully
conducting the tournament.
- In a message, the party said that successfully organising
and conducting such a high-calibre tournament, the first of its kind in
Nagaland, was indeed a daunting and challenging task, which could not have been
possible without the support from all corners of the state. The consistency and
momentum maintained throughout the period of the tournament have been the
driving forces behind the successful conduct of the NSL.
