ENPO’S “decisive” meet on Dec 19 ahead of Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit

The ENPO would firm up the Organisation’s strategy and forward plan amid its demand for a separate state – Frontier Nagaland.
The Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO) told Northeast Live that a meeting of its members would be held on December 19 to firm up the Organisation’s strategy and forward plan amid its demand for a separate state – Frontier Nagaland and ahead of Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit next month.
“We are holding a decisive meeting on December 19. After this meeting we will be much clear on our steps going forward and our next course of action,” a top ENPO member said.
The meeting of the ENPO comes after the 11-member talk team of ENPO’s meeting with Home Minister Shah in New Delhi on December 6.
Releasing a statement after the meeting, the ENPO said that Shah highlighted “a clear road map for an amicable, legislative and sustainable solution for eastern Nagaland”, which will include consultation with the people of the region and the state government.
ENPO is the apex body representing seven tribes from six districts of eastern Nagaland – Mon, Noklak, Kiphire, Longleng, Shamator and Tuensang. It has been demanding a separate state since 2010. They want “Frontier Nagaland” to be carved out from the state’s eastern part on the ground that this region hadn’t seen much development for decades.
The organization has submitted several representations to the Centre and recently threatened that its supporters will abstain from participating in any election process if its demand is not met. The ENPO boycotted Hornbill Festival 2022, one of the biggest festivals of Nagaland.
