Aboi District HQ Demand Committee (ADDC) on Sunday decided to temporarily lift the ongoing indefinite bandh with effect from January 30.
The decision comes following a meeting held on January 28, where Konyak Union (KU) requested its Aboi unit to lift the indefinite bandh in view of the upcoming meeting with nine Konyak elected members on February 2 and 4 on account of the demand to upgrade Aboi subdivision to a full-fledged district.
ADDC in a statement said that the meeting was attended by KU vice president Honang Konyak, general secretary Wango Konyak and Advisory Board of Konyak Union. Further, ADDC and Aboi public also decided that the committee would see the outcome of the February 2 and 4 meeting between KU (Apex) and nine Konyak elected members and that the movement would depend on the decision taken.
In the meeting, ADDC also sought support of Nagas in general and Konyaks in particular to support the cause of Aboi district headquarters demand as this was for upgradation and upliftment of the people who had been deprived till date.
Mentioning that the issue of Aboi district headquarters demand was people’s movement and should not be withdrawn until the State government declared Aboi a full-fledged district, ADDC hoped that the government would wisely ponder and take a decision for early declaration of the district as it was genuine and long-pending issue known to all. The committee hoped that KU (apex body) and Konyak elected members would declare Aboi district without any hesitation in the February 2 and 4 meetings.
