Müluo Shefüri Kügharü (Meluri Area Youth Organization) on Saturday celebrated its 25 years anniversary at Meluri local ground which was graced by deputy chairman state planning board, Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu.
In his speech, Azo congratulated MAYO on attaining 25 years, he encouraged them to continue to work for their people and reminded them that jubilee was the time for restoration and liberation and reconciliation.
Azo recalled that Chakhesangs were better known as “Eastern Angamis” but later in the year 1946, Chakhesang tribe came into being with the blessings of their elder brother Angamis and till now the Chakhesang and Angami still maintain a close brotherly relationship.
Likewise, he said, some decades ago, Chakhesang and Pochury were also one and only in the year 1990, the Pochurys were separated from Chakhesangs and further became recognised as a separate tribe with the blessings of the Chakhesangs.
He said Pochury are blessed tribe and lauded their achievements and contribution to the Naga society. He also appealed them not to forget the “brotherly relationship” maintained by the ancestors of Chakhesang and Pochury.
Azo also expressed concern over the “present fractured Naga society, inter-ethnic conflict, insurgency and other anti-social elements that has plague the Naga society”.
In this regard, he called upon Pochurys to come forward to promote and work together for the unity of the Nagas.
