The United Naga Council (UNC) has kick-started its grass-root level awareness campaign on Naga issue.
In its first leg, the UNC leaders landed at a village called Ramrei, which is situated in the adjoining place of Senapati and Ukhrul districts today and carried out a fiery campaign where the Naga leaders have told the gathering that the Indo-Naga political issue should be settled at the earliest. “If the Naga solution is not brought about at the earliest time the government of India should give the Alternative Arrangement to the Manipur Nagas pending Naga solution as the Nagas in Manipur have severed ties with the Manipur government and that Nagas can no longer live under the Manipur government,” UNC general secretary Gaidon Kamei told the gathering.
The UNC leaders also told the gathering to be alert to face any eventuality saying if the government denies the rights of the Nagas for longer period stern movement will be initiated.
The UNC leaders and members of Alternative Arrangement demand committee including Ashinpao Gangmei and Milan Shimray also spoke on the ocassion.
They clarified in today’s meeting that the UNC is never part and parcel of the NSCN-IM but stated, “Any Naga movement will be supported by the UNC.”
Today’s programme was attended by leaders from 24 Naga villages including church leaders.
The UNC had earlier issued written ‘guidelines’ to all the Naga tribe presidents and Naga frontal organisations to abide with when any eventuality crops up in their campaign for the ‘Alternative Arrangement’.
In the days to come, the UNC will touch most of the villages in the hill districts starting from today.

Imphal, Nov 30 : Tourism festival concluded today at Hapta Kangjeibung attended by Governor Gurbachand Jagat, Chief Minister O. Ibobi Singh, Parliamentary Secretary Tourism M. Prithiviraj and Ministers .
Governor said ,”. Unfortunately, due to reasons best known to them certain sections refrain from participating besides advocating that others should not participate also. This is not a very happy state of affairs as those who do not participate will be left out and eveiy citizen of Manipur should ensure that this Festival is made a success every year iri the interest of the State and its people.
Manipur no doubt is a beautiful State, with potential to develop it into a tourist destination. There are places like Ukhrul, Tamenglong, etc. which can be developed into beautiful hill stations. I may not be wrong to say that Nature has been bountiful and bestowed on Manipur all its splendour. But unfortunately, the potential is still to be realized. Manipur is known more for its law and order problem rather than its beauty and the tremendous human resources. It is a fact of life that negative reports travels much faster than positive attributes. Due to this tourists generally do not like to take the risk of visiting Manipur. It is for the State Government and the people of Manipur to work towards dispelling this negative aura.
Tourism industry is the fastest growing sector and its economic multiplication factor is the highest. Many countries without much natural resources have harnessed tourism as the main component of their economy with great success. Marketing is the key and I feel that Manipur has faltered in this regard. A greater effort needs to be made to ensure that Manipur is on the tourism map. The issue of accommodation will automatically be addressed if there is a rise in tourists and for this investment will be forthcoming. What a tourist needs is not a five star hotel but a basic clean, hygienic and affordable accommodation. The concerned agencies of the State Government should inspect the hotels and other places of stay regularly to ensure that they are maintained at a minimum standard of hygiene and cleanliness. Paying guest system can also be introducedas Manipur now has many private buildings which easily meet the standard. For this training of the owners of these buildings needs to be carried out and inspection also carried out regularly. Further the civic authorities and the people should make Manipur a much cleaner State, with clean roads, etc.
This year the number of visitors and the sale during the festival is lower as compared to the previous year, This is despite better publicity and creating a more festive mood at the venue. The concerned agencies should look into this and ascertain the reasons and come up with appropriate responses so that next year such issues are redressed. Even the concept may be changed and out of the box solutions considered. This year due to security reasons the parking was slightly away from the main venue and this may be a factor.
The number of stalls have increased but the participation from foreign countries is less. There is a need to draw more participation from other countries. The State Government may consider partnering one of the ASEAN countries every year, bringing in entrepreneurs and cultural teams from the partner country. This will make the festival more attractive and add novelty every year. For this the process must start early, 10-11 month’ahead. Further, the publicity also must be started well ahead in travel magazines, beside the social media, which have now become an important media for communication. I am glad that the Department of Tourism has launched a website for the festival and activities are being web cast. This is a step in the right direction and will definitely help in providing some publicity and information to those who would like to visit Manipur during the Festival.
This Festival is providing a platform for our artistes to show-case their skills. Chief Minister O. Ibobi Singh said to make a Manipur as a tourist spot a proposal was submitted to the centre. tination etc. all together nine projects have been submitted to ministry of Tourism.

IMPHAL, Nov 30 MNS NNN: Manipur Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam observed on Friday that development for the hill districts in Manipur is dragging behind because almost all the village chiefs and leaders are concentrating here in Imphal.
The Deputy Chief Minister made this observation while addressing a function felicitating him organized by Longpi Area Chief Association Nungba, Tamenglong district at Hotel Nirmala, Imphal.
Gaikhangam said the Churachandpur headquarters has become an over-populated area with no more space to live in owing to influx of villagers from other parts of the district and that still all the works of the sub-divisions are being carried out in the headquarters.
This is not a good sign, Gaikhangam said and asked how can development be brought in villages in such a situation. “Therefore, please leave your village only when you think there is necessary to do so.”
Villagers should take part in the implementation of development scheme and programmes sponsored by Government of India which aim to uplift rural areas from the grass root level, Gaikhangam appealed. He said National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) is not an everlasting scheme so it is utmost necessary that villagers look after it by themselves whether it is being implemented fully instead of letting the Central agencies to verify it.
Acknowledging that Longpi area of Tamenglong district is a remote part, the Deputy Chief Minister informed that the state Government is taking steps to develop its transport and communication, electricity and water. He also announced that the state Government has taken initiative to include in the Prime Minister’s Special Package for development of major roads of the area.
At the felicitation function, the village chiefs of Longpi area honoured Gaikhangam by presenting him gifts. Haokholal Singson, Member, Autonomous District Council, Tamenglong, village leaders among others were also present at the event.
