�Formula needed to resolve Naga issue�

By Correspondent

DIMAPUR, Aug 27 - Only slogan for solution will not bring real solution to the vexed Naga political issue but a formula is required to resolve the problem, said Nagaland Chief Minister TR Zeliang.

Zeliang said this while interacting with journalists at his office chamber on issues concerning the Naga talks, 14th Finance Commission, oil exploration and plight of Myanmar Nagas, the CMO stated in a release.

The Government of India understands the unique history of Nagas and NSCN-IM also understands the difficulty of the Centre and they know what is best for solution, he said.

Zeliang said he was optimistic that solution is possible and is hopeful that the entire North East would be peaceful once solution is finally arrived at.

On oil exploration, Zeliang informed that Mokokchung, Mon, Dimapur, Peren and Wokha districts are the oil belt of Nagaland.

He said the tussle over oil exploration would soon be resolved as talks are being held with the Centre over the modalities and percentage of share between stakeholders.

On the entry problem of Myanmar Nagas to Nagaland, the Chief Minister said the Home department had been put on the job to ascertain the incident. Since the Assam Rifles has reportedly denied that they asked for Aadhaar cards, Zeliang said the case would soon be confirmed during the next meeting.
