Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who is scheduled to visit Nagaland on January 6, is likely to meet state legislators and State BJP party leaders, sources said. Sources had told Nagaland Post that Shah will be arriving Dimapur from Imphal and hold meeting with state leaders before leaving for Delhi.
Though Shah had reportedly assured the ENPO delegation during December 6 meeting that he would personally visit Eastern Nagaland by January 2023, it was not clear whether he would be meeting ENPO representatives.
Earlier, sources had however said that Shah’s proposed visit to Eastern Nagaland this month would be finalized only after submission of a report by the three-member Home ministry committee on ‘Frontier Nagaland’ demand.
He is likely to visit Tuensang town , the strategically placed border district with Myanmar and hub of Eastern Nagaland , wherein the demand for carving out a separate state has been rekindled.
Meanwhile, a high-level team from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) held its third round of talks with the Eastern Nagaland People’s Organization (ENPO) on Thursday ahead of the Assembly elections in the state and Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to Nagaland.
