Central Nagaland Tribes Council (CNTC) has expressed dismay over the recent allocation and distributions of various schemes and funds in the state and demanded that funds should be “equally distributed district wise and not tribe wise”.
In a press note, CNTC pointed out that the recent allocation of funds was a clear indication of lackadaisical and step motherly treatment towards the central Nagaland. The council therefore demanded that chief minister Neiphiu Rio review the funds and projects and ensure that they are equally distributed.
CNTC said it was demanding its due share as the region had been deprived at large for the last 20 years. It also urged the 25 legislators of Central Nagaland, who have been elected by the people, to speak up on this matter.
CNTC said that if the legislators cannot fight for the people, they should rather resign on moral grounds.
