A consultative meeting of all stakeholders including mass-based civil societies, church organizations, tribal hohos, political parties, and NGOs was held in the State Banquet Hall, Kohima on the invitation of the State Government on 9th March 2022.
The House adopted the following resolutions unanimously:
The Naga people are yearning for an early political solution. The negotiating parties should earnestly heed this call and arrive at a political solution that is honorable, inclusive, transparent, and acceptable to the people. The House further appealed to all sections to make renewed efforts towards unity and understanding to work towards One Solution and One Agreement.
The elections to the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) should be conducted as per the 74th Amendment Act of the Constitution of India.
During an interaction with the media personnel at Civil Secretariat Kohima, Advisor Mhonlumo said the consultation with civil societies on the ULB election matter was required since it is for them and a consensus is required for the matter to progress. Reiterating the Chief Minister's statement earlier in the meeting, he said the taxation under the ULB will depend on the town council members, and the tax collected will be utilized by the town council to improve the conditions of their town and not go to the state government.
