According to reports, the Five Tribes Committee, comprising representatives from the Angami Public Organisation, Ao Senden, Lotha Hoho, Rengma Hoho, and Sumi Hoho, has issued a warning of launching peaceful protests across Nagaland if the state government fails to respond to its demands for a comprehensive review of the existing job reservation policy, from/after Monday (26 May).
• With no official response received so far, the committee has declared its preparedness to initiate protest action.
• A multi-phase protest plan has been outlined. The first phase will include peaceful marches across the district headquarters of the five tribes. A second phase may involve a dharna at the state secretariat in Kohima.
• The committee has also indicated that further protest actions may be announced if their demands are not addressed promptly.
