Dimapur Bar Association jubilee hall inaugurated

Advisor of labour, employment & skill development and excise, Moatoshi Longkumer inaugurated the Dimapur Bar Association Jubilee Hall, Dimapur. Addressing the gathering Longkumer congratulated DBA for successful completion of the jubilee hall and expressed hope the building would go a long way.
Longkumer said that building of a nation was fundamentally dependent upon the foundation of good governance that was controlled by rule of the law. “In a state where the rule of the law is considered a sovereign, anarchy is stopped”, he said.
He also pointed out that it was universally accepted that lawyers always play a vital role in the making and shaping of a country, and therefore lawyer has an obligation to see that the rule of law is maintained.
Speaking on DBA, he stated it was a public institution and has the legal obligation to impart wholehearted cooperation for the development of law. He further reminded the present generation of lawyers to remember the principles of becoming great lawyers, reminding them that only great and dedicated lawyers were in the bondage to sustain the democracy. He also encouraged the lawyers to develop sense of introspection to analyze and find out their weaknesses, and thrive for rule of law and compassion for poor. “A lawyer must get the idea imbedded in his heart that one may be destroyed but can never be defeated”, he added.
Earlier, the programme was chaired by president, DBA Hukavi Zhimomi, invocation by pastor LBCD, Yanbemo Lotha and welcome address by convenor, planning committee (DBA) Silver Jubilee, NK Luikham. Construction report delivered by DBA vice president Asungbe and vote of thanks by jt secretary Bendangwabang.
