Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio reaffirmed his government's commitment to an early, honourable resolution of the decades-old Naga political issue during the 80th Independence Day celebrations. He welcomed the recent formation of a ministerial-level committee led by the Union Minister of State for Home Affairs to advance peace talks. Rio also emphasized support for the Frontier Nagaland Territorial Authority to address regional development and called for intensified efforts against drug abuse.
