The United Naga Council (UNC) has appealed to both Southern Angami Public Organisation (SAPO) and Mao Council to cooperate with Tenyimi Public Council (TPO) as it is in the process of “justice dispensation” on the Kezoltsa land dispute and to honour its verdict as per the Naga Customary Law.

Pointing out the sufferings of the public as a result of the ‘Quit Notice’ issued by SAPO and Angami Youth Organisation (AYO) to the Mao living in Angami jurisdiction, UNC urged both communities “to rein in from further escalation of pandemonium, mistrust and violence but rather embrace the tenet of peace, love and forgiveness.”

Further, the Council welcomed the news that the Mao Council had “reciprocally acted on time to meet the ultimatum such as, restoration of the rest house, lifting of CrPc 144 and relocation of security personnels from the disputed area” as confirmed by TPO.
