WSH demands Nagaland government to revoke notification on Peren-Chumoukedima boundary demarcation

Dimapur, June 8 (EMN): The Western Sumi Hoho (WSH) has said that it will not accept the state government’s recent notification on inter-district boundary between Peren and Chumoukedima (erstwhile Dimapur) districts and demanded to revoke it within seven days.

In a memorandum to the chief minister, the WSH warned that it, along with its frontal organizations will impose a total bandh in Dimapur district if the government fails to revoke the notification and that the state government will be held responsible if any untoward incidents occur.

Alleging that the government’s move was designed to divide western Sumi villages that have boundary problem, the hoho demanded to “flush out” illegal encroachers from other states.

It also demanded to either include all the Sumi villages in Peren-Chumoukedima border in the newly created Chumoukedima district or let it remain with Dimapur district as was in the past.
