Hoping that this festive season brought the dawn of an era of peace and tranquility in the Naga society, Tongpang appealed to the Naga national workers to shun all forms of violence and killing among the different groups. “Let us all have a meaningful Christmas to cherish for the life time,” he wished while conveying best seasonal greetings to the Naga people.
