Kohima: The Dimapur Naga Students Union is siding with the Naga Students Federation in the fight for ancestral land rights. This move follows a formal statement released on August 1 regarding the Maova village land dispute. The union argues that current challenges threaten the customary land systems that define Naga culture and identity. Land is not just dirt and rocks. It is the history and heart of the Naga people.
Ignoring these traditional rights tears at the social fabric of the community. The union is calling on authorities and stakeholders to follow customary law immediately to stop further disputes. They want to ensure indigenous rights stay protected at all times. The union also asked the public to stay alert and united to keep peace and justice in the region. They promised to stand with the federation and "all right-thinking citizens" to defend the dignity of their people.
