During the meeting, the Ekhung passed three resolutions: the current KLEE team will continue for another year in view of the Kohima Lotha Hoho’s 50th jubilee, which is to be celebrated next year; KLEE will monitor the misuse of social media by any individuals or groups within its Ekhung; and the usage of Lotha traditional attire will be based on different occasions.
