Various civil society organisations (CSOs) of Dimapur have expressed dismay over the case filed against Naga Council Dimapur (NCD) by three new members of the council– J Walter Longchar, S Mar Aier and Chovose Nienu.
In a joint statement, presidents of GB’s (Sadar) Union Dimapur, DUCCF, NWHD, DNSU and DDCF said they were “amazed at the audacity” of a few newcomer members in NCD, who they alleged were “virtually trying to jeopardize” the integrity of NCD which has been “tirelessly contributing to the needs of the society for the past 71 years”.
They alleged that the new members convinced the civil judge to pass restraining order with “malicious” intent to sabotage the good image” of NCD. “What turns out to be more disturbing is the fact that the civil judge was convinced to pass restraining order after 32 days of case hearing,” they said.
They pointed out that the new office bearers of NCD were installed and approved with the required number of councilors as per the constitution of the council. Therefore, they said the question of entertaining “a consequent petition by the vested interest party” for the same should not arise.
