Demands CM to review and ensure equal distribution
Mokokchung, July 23 (MTNews): The Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) has expressed dismay over the recent allocation and distributions of various schemes and funds in the state. “CNTC is of the view that funds should be equally distributed district wise and not tribe wise,” it said in a press statement issued on Saturday through its Media Cell.
CNTC further stated that the “recent allocation of funds was a clear indication of lackadaisical and step motherly treatment towards the central Nagaland” and demanded the state chief Minister Neiphiu Rio to “review the funds and projects and ensure that funds are equally distributed.”
CNTC stated that it was demanding its due share, saying that the region has been deprived at large for the last 20 years. The council also urged the “25 legislators of CNTC” who have been elected by the people to speak up on this matter. It stated that they should resign on moral ground if they cannot fight for the people.
