A delegation of Naga legislators on Monday called on the Governor of Manipur, Ajay Kumar Bhalla, at Raj Bhavan, Imphal, to deliberate on matters concerning the state’s border areas.
According to Sources, the delegation comprised of 3 Naga People’s Front (NPF) MLAs and 1 Independent MLA namely Awangbou Newmai, Khashim Vashum, Leishiyo Keishing and J. Kumo Sha.
During the meeting, the legislators apprised the Governor of several concerns, including the scrapping of Free Movement Regime (FMR) and the ongoing border fencing activities. The Naga legislators urged the Governor to take appropriate measures to ensure an amicable resolution of the issues.
The United Naga Council (UNC) has strongly opposed the ongoing construction of the Indo-Myanmar border fencing in Naga areas, calling it a violation of their traditional boundaries and an affront to their rights.
