The first ever ‘political level’ dialogue on ‘Alternative Arrangement’ demanded by the United Naga Council (UNC) is likely to be held on February 6. Sources, quoting the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), informed Newmai News Network today that the State Government of Manipur has consented to send its representatives to a ‘political level’.
The sources also said that the Centre has intimated the UNC regarding the latest development to prepare for the 7th round of ‘tripartite talks’ involving the Government of Manipur, New Delhi and the Naga body on February 6 at Senapati district headquarters. The Government of India has requested the calling off of all agitation programmes in view of the positive development. The intimation was reportedly sent by S Saha, Deputy Secretary, MHA, New Delhi. Meanwhile, the UNC will hold an emergency meeting on this development in Senapati on Friday.
