Lotha Lower Range CSOs not to attend ACVA meeting

DIMAPUR: A joint consultative meeting convened by various civil society organisations (CSOs) under the Lotha Lower Range Public Organisation (LLRPO) and Lotha Middle Range Public Organisation (LMRPO) was held on October 6 at Merapani Village Council Hall to deliberate on issues arising from the meeting called by the All Commercial Vehicle Association (ACVA), scheduled for October 8 at Lotha Hoho Ki, Wokha.
In a press note, seasonal secretary of the joint consultative meeting, Zathungo Yanthan, informed that the meeting was spearheaded by LLRPO and attended by representatives from Merapani Village Council, Merapani Business Union, Yanmhon Area Public Organisation, LMRPO, Bhandari Town Councillors, Bhandari Lotha Hoho, and Merapani Students’ Union.
After thorough deliberation, the house unanimously resolved that all participating CSOs and stakeholders shall not attend the meeting convened by ACVA on October 8. It further resolved that the organisations would neither recognise nor participate in any discussion on the matter unless such a meeting is formally convened through the Deputy Commissioner, Wokha, and conducted under the authority and supervision of the district administration.
In this regard, the house agreed to submit a representation to the Deputy Commissioner, Wokha, seeking necessary intervention. The representation will request the district administration to address the issue within six days of receipt of the memorandum.
The stakeholders also resolved to constitute an Action Committee to pursue justice and safeguard the interests of affected stakeholders in the event of complications. The committee will be jointly spearheaded by LLRPO and LMRPO, with all participating CSOs serving as members.
The house reaffirmed its collective stand and urged all concerned parties to respect and adhere to the resolutions adopted during the Joint Consultative Meeting.
