Kohima, May 10 2009:
THE APEX organization of tribal bodies in the Nagas, the Naga Hoho has expressed that rape and murder have become a social menace in contemporary Naga society which had no such oral narration with strong discipline then have now been completely wrecked in this so-called modern Naga way of life which has become a great concern.
Naga Hoho General Secretary, P.Chuba Ozukum in a statement has said that it is strongly committed to eradicate all forms of social evils challenging the fabric of Naga customary usages and traditions and seriously desires to formulate strategies to curb such menace in their society.
It is high time for the Government and the people from different walks of life and different groups of Naga nationalists to re-evaluate the root causes leading to various social tribulations and unrest in the state.
Keeping all these in mind, the Naga Hoho during its Executive Council meeting held recently had decided to organize a consultative meeting particularly with all women organizations and representatives of different Naga tribe leaders from all Naga areas on May 15 at State Zonal Council Hall at 11:00 am at Kohima.
The Naga Hoho invited three representatives each from Nagaland Women Commission, Naga Mothers Association, All tribe women organization, Nagaland Bar Association, All tribe Hoho, GB's & DB's, NSF, NPMHR, Nagaland Christian Forum, NBCC, CNBC, Naga Council Dimapur and Dimapur Women Hoho.
Further, all organizations have also been requested to send their representative without hesitation in case the official intimation fails to reach in time.
