The Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO) held a coordination and consultative meeting with its frontal and tribal organizations in Mon Town, emphasizing the need for a timely response from the Nagaland State Government on October 11, 2024. According to reports, the meeting concluded with a unanimous resolution urging the state authorities to submit their comments on the “Highlight of the draft MoS with ENPO on FNT” by October 31, 2024.
It may be noted that this call for a response traces back to December 18, 2023, when Union Home Minister Amit Shah presented the draft Memorandum of Settlement (MoS) to the state government for review. This was then followed by several communications from the ENPO, starting with a letter addressed to the Nagaland Chief Minister on August 23, 2024. A follow-up reminder was sent on September 14, 2024, reiterating the need for the state’s input as requested by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Government of India. Despite these efforts, the state government has yet to provide an official comment, leaving the issue unresolved.
The organization has also announced plans to convene a Central Executive Council (CEC) meeting on November 1, 2024, where the next steps will be deliberated if the state fails to meet the deadline.
