Dimapur, December 11
Governor of Nagaland, PB Acharya on Thursday inaugurated the new office complex of the deputy commissioner of Peren district at the new Peren headquarter. Marking the event, the governor stated in his speech on December 11 that the new office complex of the district administration was ‘magnificent’. The new building was planned through for seven years, the governor observed. For any development, Acharya stated, complete infrastructure was needed. He said that Peren district had potential to move forward “hence unity and co-operation” was needed. Political interventions will not bring peace and development, he said, and that ‘neutrality after election is the essence of democracy.’
The governor also reflected on the wealth and potential the state of Nagaland possessed. He maintained that Nagaland was blessed with rich natural resources which the government was ready to ‘harvest’. The present government at the center has serious concerns for the states of the north eastern states.
The governor also said that officers should not be the reason for the ‘downfall of the district’ but that they should start giving their best to serving the people of the district. Every officer should have a sense of responsibility for the uplift of the people, the governor stated. He appreciated the villages that donated land for the new Peren headquarters to be built upon. ‘Peren district is blessed to have TR Zeliang as chief minister of Nagaland,’ Acharya added.
Also commemorating the event, chief minister of Nagaland, TR Zeliang, who was the guest of honor, said that negativity begot destruction in any society. He urged the officers by telling them that, “if you look only for your comfort you will land nowhere, but sacrifice in your work will remain in history.”
Chief Secretary of Nagaland, Toshi Aier also spoke during the inauguration. He told the gathering that the public was ‘responsible for the regularity of officers.’ He also said that Peren district had the potential to becoming one of the ‘most-economically viable districts in Nagaland.’ The people of the region should learn from their ‘past mistakes’ and ‘join hands to march forward for better development and uplift,’ he explained.
