Southern Angami Public Organization (SAPO) has approved the demand made by the Southern Angami Youth Organisation (SAYO) to impose economic blockade against Mao community within Southern Angami traditional jurisdiction, territory and area.
SAPO stated that the proposed blockade would confine to Mao community alone. “Further action may follow as per the demand of the situation that may arise”, it stated in the six-point resolution adopted on May 27.
Corrigendum: SAPO has issued a clarification with regard to the May 27 resolution No. 1. of the general meeting Agenda, which should be read as: “The Mao Council had offended SAPO by levelling baseless allegation that ‘SAPO were encroaching on Manipur land’. The SAPO states that Manipur land (Metei) does not border with Southern Angami territory in any corner or area. Therefore, Mao Council should come out with facts where SAPO had encroached Manipur land”.
SAPO president, Zadeho Rikha and general secretary Mhashekhol Tsukru stated that it was a typographical error and regretted for the inconvenience.
