While empathising with the sentiments of Eastern Naga People’s Organisation (ENPO) regarding the mismanagement in transfer of returnees to Tuensang district, Sümi Hoho has appealed to ENPO to stand together in solidarity with the State government in the fight against COVID-19.
The hoho stressed that it was imperative for the people to cut across tribal lines and unite as one, because the novel coronavirus knew no boundaries, class, creed or religion. And it was only by proper coordination, support and collaboration between civil society organisations, the government and the people that State stands a chance to nullify the impact of the virus in the long run.
Mentioning that it understood that COVID-19 pandemic was having a profound effect on the lives of millions of people around the world, Sümi Hoho observed that while the crisis had brought unprecedented challenges, it has also given “our people” a chance to unite and fight this battle together as one. This was stated in a press release issued by the organisation.
