SENAPATI, Nov 12: Following the submission by the United Naga Council (UNC) to AK Mishra, Advisor (North East), Ministry of Home Affairs, to reschedule the date for the next tripartite talk on the Manipur new district creation issue, the talk has been postponed to November 29.
On November 8, AK Mishra had invited the Naga body for the next round of the talk in Senapati on November 13, 2024, at 10 am.  However, the UNC had expressed its inability to hold the talk on the said date.
On November 10, UNC general secretary Vareiyo Satshang had written to AK Mishra to reschedule the next talk in the fourth week of November 2024, "due to inevitable prior engagement of some members of the UNC talk team on November 13." Responding to the UNC letter, AK Mishra informed the Naga body today that the next round of talk will be held on November 29, 2024 in Senapati.
It can be recalled that the tripartite talks involving the Central Government, the United Naga Council (UNC) and the Government of Manipur resumed on October 11, 2024, in New Delhi after a long hiatus.
It is also worth noting here that, the previous Government of Manipur had created the seven new districts on December 8, 2016. In protest, the UNC had imposed a 139 day economic blockade along the National Highways which pass through Manipur. After the lifting of the blockade, the first round of talk was held on March 19, 2017 followed by several rounds of talk.
