LSU appeals government to expedite delimitation process

DIMAPUR: Lotha Students Union (LSU) has appealed to the government for immediately implementing the process of delimitation for Nagaland. A press release from LSU president Ashanthung Humtsoe and general secretary, Pithungo Shitio stated that, history has given a second chance, “to undo past mistakes with absolute fairness and equity which will allow people to look towards a new Nagaland”, where there will be equitable distribution of resources and equal access to opportunity for every Naga.

While citing that youths of Nagaland were restless and would do whatever was necessary to fight for creating a united, progressive, developed and prosperous state, the LSU also believe that such an exercise would empower younger generation to progress, prosper, work and contribute towards the greater interest of Naga people and the state.

LSU also stated that, this was not just for Lothas or the marginalized communities affected by irrational distribution of constituency seats but for all Nagas, particularly the upcoming generation.

It therefore appealed the public and decision makers to stand in truth by considering the facts, logic and rationality to determine the outcome of the delimitation exercise.

Hard working hands and a golden heart laid at rest; You did the best for us. But it broke our hearts to see you go. Yet we believe that you are near, Smiling down and watching us. They say memories are golden, But we never wanted memories, We only wanted you! We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain; Forever without an end.

Loving wife, children and relatives.
