A meeting of the Ao Senden federal assembly here today did not take any decision on whether or not to lift the road blockade along the national highways connecting Mokokchung with Dimapur passing through Mariani and Amguri but empowered the Presidential Council to take the final call.<\/p>\n
Ao Senden\u2019s Presidential Council is slated to meet on Thursday June 13 and might discuss the matter.
\nMeanwhile, a government delegation led by home minister G.Kaito Aye and which included planning minister T.R. Zeliang, roads and bridges minister Azo Neinu including Chingwang Konyak political advisor to the chief minister arrived Mokokchung for a meeting the Ao Senden in the DC\u2019s conference hall here today.<\/p>\n
The joint meeting discussed several issues related with the Ao Senden\u2019s five-point charter of demands. The government delegation reaffirmed the assurance made earlier, in accepting all the demands put forward by the Senden. <\/p>\n

He also said that the government delegation expressed seriousness about the issues and the desire to resolve the problems at the earliest. <\/p>\n
Speculations were rife here, that following the positive development, the ongoing blockade could be lifted by Thursday. Though the blockade continued Wednesday, it is believed that the Ao Senden Presidential Council would suspend the blockade temporarily. <\/p>\n
