According to DIPR report, J Alam said that his visit was a “familiarisation tour” with tribes of the state and the district.
He was keen on connecting with all tribal hohos of Nagaland as there were many issues which could be curbed with the support of tribal apex organisations.

He shared that the government and tribal hohos should have an understanding with each other and work accordingly as crucial times would come which would require the support of civil society organisations (CSOs).
He stated that they may not be able to completely eradicate all the problems at a go but with their support of CSOs, some crucial problems could be resolved.
Speaking on behalf of Sumis, Sumi Hoho president, Hekhushe Sikhu assured its full support stating that their main objective was to coordinate with the government for the welfare of people.
He also shared some of the problems that were happening and requested the government to sort it out in good terms.
