Eastern Naga Students’ Federation (ENSF), while extending its “unwavering solidarity” to the Yimkhiung tribe, has strongly appealed to the state Government to declare Shamator district at the earliest.
In a press release, Eastern Naga Students’ Federation president Chingmak Chang and assistant general secretary Molo Phom expressed resentment against the state government’s “inconsistent commitment” over the creation of Shamator district.
According to ENSF, there was “certain understanding” that was arrived at between the Yimkhiung Tribal Council (YTC) and the state government for “unconditional upgradation” of Shamator ADC HQ to a full-fledged District. However, ENSF said the agreement, which was made in principle between the two parties, has proven to be futile.
Further, the federation said that ENPO during its silver jubilee had submitted a representation to the government for creation of Shamator district Hq and submitted a reminder letter on August 6, 2021.
The federation expressed surprise that Shamator was not in the list of new districts declared on December 18, 2021.
