Rengmas demand nomination in Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KACC)

Rengma Naga Peoples Conference (RNPC) and Rengma Students Union (RSU) have jointly demanded a ‘government nominated member’ to the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KACC) to represent the Rengma Naga tribe of Karbi Anglong. The demand was made by the frontal organizations February 9 last through a memorandum to the chief executive member.

The memo pointed out that Rengma Nagas were the sons of the soil and had every right to represent its people in the KAAC.  Chento H. Rengma, general secretary of RNPC told the media that “it is regrettable that the Rengma Nagas have no representation in the KAAC.”

“The Rengma Nagas deserves the constitutionally given right since we have been recognized by the constitution as part of 6th schedule of the constitution”, said Chento.
