- The Southern Angami Public Organization (SAPO) Rest-house that was demolished has been rebuilt by the Tenyimi Peoples’ Organization (TPO) and stands unchanged as before.
- The Manipur Police Outpost which was set up in the disputed area has been relocated to an undisputed area.
- The Angami Public Organization (APO) welcome these transformative developments as timely and conducive for the parties involved to evolve together a solution that will be honourable, therefore workable and acceptable.

In keeping with its declared position that, TPO has been mandated to bring about the needed solution, the APO has directed all bodies / Organisations or Individuals under APO “to cease forthwith issuing any statements or rejoinders on the issue under discussion, such a responsible moratorium is now called for and the understanding and cooperation of all is requested, so that the crucially needed bust-building process will be created wherein the actual search for the much-awaited solution may begin.”
Reposing its trust on TPO in resolving the dispute, the APO has announced its withdrawal of ultimatum and has further requested the TPO to expedite the settlement process in a way that is acceptable and agreeable to all involved parties.
