In his speech, the Advisor also narrated about the schooling scenario in Mangmetong village during the Naga Political Struggle in 1955, where the citizens of Mangmetong Village were motivated in politics rather than government services and school-going children were restricted from attending schools, and a fine was imposed if they disobeyed.
