Dimapur, July 2 (MN): Christian Forum Dimapur (CFD) has appealed to the government and the Governor of Nagaland to seek the will of God and the people for an acceptable, amicable and sustainable solution.
CFD has made this appeal during its meeting with executive and advisory board on June 30 at Bishop’s House, Dimapur. The meeting began with an invocation by its advisor Dr. P Dozo, while the welcome addressed was delivered by its chairman Rev. Moses Murry.
An update from the forum stated that the members decided to appeal to individuals, different governmental and civil society organisations of the state after intense discussion and deliberations on various issues faced by the civil society and understanding the struggle of the public.
The forum has requested the government to control the exorbitant price rise of commodities in the market. The members felt that the business community should not take advantage of the pandemic crisis to make profit but rather co-operate with the struggling public to help alleviate their suffering during the unprecedented Civid-19 pandemic.
The forum also appealed to all the churches in Dimapur and the state to collaborate with government and other skill development institutions to help the unemployed youth especially the returnees find job for their sustenance.
It also requested the churches to organise spiritual awakening programmes and crusades for the youths by strictly following the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) in all the public places.
In this regard, CFD has decided to organise workshops, seminars and training to generate employment for the youth.
The forum also appealed to the individuals and organisations, who are involved in extortion and collecting money during this poignant and pandemic situations, to eschew such activities especially during this troubled time.
The forum also requested the youth to be creative and develop a strong work culture in seeking job to sustain day-to-day life. They are further asked to cooperate and collaborate with the churches, government and skill development organisations, entrepreneurs associations and training institutes to get registered for suitable job oriented trainings and make the state a model for entrepreneurships and small scale industries.
The meeting concluded with a benediction said by its advisor Rev. Dr. Paphino.
