The 5th general conference of Northern Angami GBs Union (NAGBU) was held at Nerhema village with advisor of Prisons, Printing & Stationary, H. Haiying as the special guest on February 28.
A press release from NAGBU stated that, Haiying speaking on the occasion said Naga society was a dignified society because of customary law and unique tradition and culture.
While stating that this should not be allowed to be polluted by any outside elements, he also said that GBs were the pillar of the government, whereby objective of the present government was to decentralize the power and evolve it to the grass root level.
