Dimapur, August 22 (EMN): The Yimchungru Tribal Council (YTC), in its emergency meeting on August 22, unanimously resolved to extend indefinite non-cooperation towards NSCN/GPRN (R). The decision was necessitated following failure of the NSCN/GPRN (R) in solving the public problem previously addressed to it vide Ref. No. YTC/PUB-REP/06/17-18, dated 14/07/17 and a correspondence letter conveyed to it by the President of NSCN/GPRN (R) vide Ref. No. Off/Lt-05/2017, dated 05/08/2017.
“The decision shall be indefinite and enforceable until such time the matter addressed by the YTC is solved amicably,” YTC vice president Throngso Yimchunger and the general secretary L Chuba said in a joint statement. The statement added that all sorts of movements, activities, functions and collections of the NSCN/GPRN (R) within Yimchungru Region will be restricted during the pendency period.
YTC said it honours the NSCN/GPRN (R) as one of the mandated institutions working tirelessly and honestly for the cause of the Nagas and shall always endeavour to extend its participation as one of the stakeholders as any other tribes of Nagaland. However, YTC regretted its decision in the present manner due to an undeniable fact with the problem unsolved at hands, adding it is technically and practically not feasible either to participate or to cooperate with the NSCN/GPRN (R) in a normal manner.
YTC was optimistic that NSCN/GPRN (R) would expedite the process to solve the problem as addressed and thereby allows the Yimchungru Naga to participate in the NSCN/GPRN (R) vigorously, diligently, transparently, honestly and with fresh rays of hope.
