Dimapur, June 7 (EMN): The Northern Angami Chükehie Society has stated that it “inadvertently and wrongly mentioned the chief minister, Neiphiu Rio to be the chief guest” during a programme in Kohima.
A press release from the society on Thursday stated that naming the chief minister as 'chief guest' was against the policy of the incumbent government which had announced earlier to do away with 'VIP' and 'chief guest culture.'
It apologised to the chief minister for what it stated was an oversight on the organisation's part. The society expressed gratitude to “all the well wishers who have generously contributed for (sic) the success of the programme. We especially the thank the chief minister for the magnanimity shown to the people of northern Angami area.”
