The directive urges the Naga people, particularly those within the Chandel Naga People’s Organisation (CNPO) jurisdiction, to ensure that no activities related to border fencing take place and to prepare for any potential eventualities. This was issued as a follow-up to the earlier directive dated October 29, 2024, and per resolution 2 from the Presidential Council Meeting held on November 7, 2024.
The UNC has called upon its esteemed units and subordinate bodies in the affected areas to take decisive measures to prevent such activities within their jurisdictions, acting collectively and without fear or favoritism. The council has also warned that any individual or organization collaborating with implementing agents for favors, or cooperating or assisting them will face serious repercussions as per its established resolutions and stance.
