Dimapur: Bodies representing 15 tribes of Nagaland have appealed to the Centre to “seriously and sincerely” resolve the “Indo-Naga” peace process before the Assembly elections in the State without further delay, a news article in The Hindu reads.

The elections to the 60-member Nagaland Assembly are expected by February.

“The tribal bodies said a solution to the issue has been due since 1997 when the Isak-Muivah faction of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland declared truce with the Indian armed forces”, reads the report.
