Advisor, Labour & Employment, Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, R Tohanba, on Thursday inaugurated Losolo village and two village gates in Shamator sub-division under Tuensang district.
According to DIPR report, inaugurating the newly government recognized Losolo village, some 40 odd kilometres from Shamator town, the advisor said the establishment and recognition of a new village has significant impact on the lives of villagers, especially in remote areas.
Tohanba said with recognition of the village, Losolo village can gradually avail all infrastructure and facilities provided by the government including schools and other basic amenities.
He said establishment of new villages was not a modern phenomenon as Nagas have been establishing villages since time immemorial for various reasons. Tohanba, however, said establishing a new village in the present context entailed a lot of formalities including no objection certificates from neighbouring villages and government procedures.
Tohanba further reminded the villagers that for speedy development and progress of the new village, the villagers should not only cooperate with each other and work collectively, but also maintain peaceful and harmonious relations with neighbouring villages.
EAC Shamator, Limakhumla Pongener, on behalf of the district administration, congratulated Losolo villagers for getting government recognition of the new village.
The EAC also sought the cooperation of the villagers in implementing welfare schemes and other administrative functions of the government.
A host of GBs, elders and representatives from neighbouring villages including Shiponger village, Chessore village, Kiutsukiur village, Y Aunru village, and president of Yimchungrü Tribal Council (YTC), K Keozih, also spoke on the occasion.
