Mother of Dr. SC Jamir Governor of Odisha and Advisor Urban Development S.I. Jamir, Mrs. Takatula passed away on Saturday after a brief illness. She was 103.<\/div>\n
A short funeral service was held at Dimapur and the body was later taken to her native village, Ungma where she would be buried on Sunday afternoon.<\/div>\n
CM: Nagaland chief minister T.R. Zeliang has expressed deep grief at the sad demise of Mrs Takatula on March 12 in Dimapur and said \u201chers was a saintly life and all those who met her or knew her spoke highly of her Christian values.\u201d<\/div>\n
In a condolence message to Dr. S.C. Jamir, Governor of Odisha, the chief minister T.R. Zeliang recalled that ever since he entered into public life, he had always seen her as a grand old lady who never seemed to suffer from any physical ailment despite her age. <\/div>\n
Daughter of head dobashi Likokyangba, Takatula\u2019s marriage with Senayangba was propitious considering the fact that Senayangba\u2019s grandfather Jongshinokdang, was the person who invited Rev EW Clark to Ungma village thereby, playing a historic role in propagating Christianity in these parts of the world, said the chief minister.<\/div>\n
Further, the chief minister said that she was also one of the last of the early Naga Christians, who, unlike modern day Christians who were more obsessed with materialism and wealth, lived in righteousness and showed love, compassion and kindness towards all human beings.<\/div>\n
The chief minister, on behalf of the people of Nagaland, joined the bereaved family in this hour of grief and prayed to the Almighty to grant them solace and comfort. He also prayed that the departed soul rest in eternal peace.<\/div>\n

Jamir, Governor of Odisha, Rio said she belonged to an era which was perhaps one of the most difficult and challenging period in \u201cour history and we can say with clear confidence that she has come out with flying colours.\u201d The MP said she epitomized an ideal mother and role model for \u201cour society.\u201d<\/div>\n
Stating that \u201cwe cannot imagine the challenges\u201d she would have faced and overcome to bring up and groom her children and grandchildren who have become nation builders, Rio said \u201cour society must appreciate and acknowledge her contribution which are significant and path breaking.\u201d<\/div>\n
Conveying deepest condolences to all the members of the bereaved family, Rio prayed to Almighty God to let her soul rest in eternal peace.<\/div>\n
