Tokhü Emong was celebrated at the Wokha Public Ground, with MLA Y Mhonbemo Humtsoe gracing the occasion on November 7.
Addressing the gathering, MLA Humtsoe emphasised the importance of understanding issues from different perspectives rather than judging them from a single point of view. He urged the people to consider different angles before reaching conclusions and make efforts to understand the truth.
Reflecting on the significance of Tokhü Emong, he called upon the people to look beyond merely attending the celebration and reflects on whether they were genuinely willing to bring positive changes within themselves and the community. Referring to the festival’s values of forgiveness and reconciliation, he urged people to ‘forgive one another during their lifetime and seek reconciliation wherever necessary.’
Describing Wokha as a pioneer in various fields, Humtsoe recalled the district’s contributions to social and political developments, stating that several initiatives and political movements had originated in Wokha.
He also called for a more constructive approach towards leadership, urging the public to recognise and appreciate the contributions and good work of leaders across different fields instead of limiting public discourse to criticism. He said acknowledging positive contributions would help foster unity and enable society to move forward collectively.
The programme also featured the final match of the tug-of-war competition, with Midland Colony emerging as the winner. Nchumbemo Erui and team presented a Tokhü song, while the Wokha Town Phiro Cultural Organisation showcased a folk song and dance performance. A special song was also presented by the choir of Wokha Town Baptist Church.
The programme was attended by Additional Judge of the Gauhati High Court, Justice Nchumbemo Mozhui, among others, and concluded with the traditional Tokhü feast.
