Kolkata/Dimapur, October 19

Two Naga factions — NSCN-IM and NNPGs — have agreed to form a common body to explore ways and move forward towards finding a solution to the imbroglio over the Naga peace talks.

The decision to have ‘Council of Naga Relationships and Cooperation’ was the outcome of a two-day meeting between the Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) and the National Socialist Council of Nagalim-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) initiated by the Forum for Naga Reconciliation.

The Centre has been holding parallel peace parleys with the NSCN-IM and the Working Committee of Naga National Political Groups, comprising at least seven units. “The NNPGs and NSCN-IM, with a renewed commitment, met in Kolkata on October 17 and 18,” a statement read.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
