Three apex bodies of the Aos – Ao Senden, Watsu Mungdang and Ao Kaketshir Mungdang – have in a joint statement announced relaxation of certain restrictions in Mokokchung district. This followed the State government issuing new lockdown guidelines and Nagaland being categorised under green zone vis-à-vis COVID-19 pandemic.
Extending appreciation to villages in border areas for being sincere in sealing the borders, the three apex Ao bodies also appealed to them to continue their efforts for completely sealing the borders.
The organisations further urged villages and wards in urban areas to relax the lockdown by opening their village gates.
Mentioning that movement of farmers and farm produce was being allowed without any restriction, the three bodies asserted Nagaland was included in green zone because of the participation and cooperation of the public with the authorities concerned.
The joint statement was issued by Ao Senden president Chubawati, Watsu Mungdang president Maonginla and Ao Kaketshir Mungdang president Nungdokyanger.
