Dimapur, Jan 7 (PTI) As the peaceful protest demanding Shamator district in Nagaland spearheaded by Yimkhiung Tribal Council (YTC) entered the fifth day, the state government on Friday decided to the set up a third party to negotiate with the tribal bodies of the area resolve their differences before making the declaration on it.<\/p>\n
The decision was taken at a state cabinet meeting held during the day, Deputy Chief Minister Y Patton told mediapersons after the closed door meeting which was chaired by Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio.<\/p>\n
The decision to engage a third party was taken to negotiate and bring about unity among the tribal bodies of the area before declaring Shamator, currently a sub-division of Tuensang district, a full fledged district.<\/p>\n
The third party will be set up at the earliest to sort out differences between the civil societies in the area, Patton said.<\/p>\n
YTC, an apex body of the Yimkhiung community of Nagaland, has been conducting series of peaceful protest rallies for three hours on a daily basis since January 3 to protest against the state government’s alleged failure to make Shamator a district despite its assurances.<\/p>\n
It decided to put on hold all its agitations for some time following the cabinet decision, YTC general secretary S Tsuyihba told PTI over phone.<\/p>\n
We will, however, continue to put pressure on the government with the hope that the government will grant districthood to Shamator by January 26, he said.<\/p>\n
The state government while creating three new districts Tseminyu, Niuland and Chumukedima on December 18 had agreed in principle to grant the status to Shamator.<\/p>\n
However, it has been of the opinion that it would be done only after the two communities in the area Yimkhiung and Tikhir come to an understanding and remain united.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
