DIMAPUR, March 5 (NNN): The constitution of a High Power Committee (HPC) in connection with the United Naga Council’s demand of an Alternative Arrangement, pending Indo-Naga settlement, is likely to be delayed due to the Model Code of Conduct for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. Sources informed Newmai News Network that the Ministry of Home Affairs has written to UNC leaders in Delhi re-assuring the formation of the HPC, but that an order to this effect was not issued. “Though the officials of the MHA had not revealed the reason for not issuing the order today, it appears that technical difficulties could have been the factor as the Election Commission of India has announced the schedules of the 16th Lok Sabha polls. Automatically, the Model Code of Conduct followed,” stated the sources.
