The demand for the creation of a separate state of Frontier Nagaland is gaining momentum once again.
The Eastern Nagaland Peoples’ Organisation or ENPO held a public rally across the Eastern areas today to press for the creation of the ‘Frontier Nagaland’ state comprising the areas of Mon, Tuensang, Kiphire, Noklak, Shamator, and Longleng.
The decision, to hold the rally, came after a joint consultative meeting of all seven tribal bodies and talk team held on June 28 at Tuensang Village.
Business establishment and Educational institutions remained closed due to the rally in the Eastern jurisdiction today.
The Eastern tribal organizations also submitted a representation addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi through their respective District Deputy Commissioners.
It may be recalled that Eastern Nagaland Peoples’ Organisation at its joint consultative meeting held at Konyak Community Centre Dimapur on May 27, 2022, reaffirmed the October 13, 2021 representation addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting him and Union Home Minister Amit Shah to accord early approval of the proposed Frontier Nagaland and for early declaration of the same for the people of Eastern Nagaland.
