Deeply saddened to learn about the passing of veteran Naga peace activist, educator and writer, Shri Niketu Iralu, in New Delhi today.

A towering figure in our society, he dedicated his life to building bridges, fostering understanding and guiding us towards peace, particularly through the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR). His wisdom, humility and unwavering commitment to peace and reconciliation will remain etched in the history of Nagaland. His passing is a monumental loss to our people.

My family and I extend our deepest condolences to his family, loved ones and all those who mourn his passing. May his departed soul rest in eternal peace.

I strongly condemn the bomb blast incident at Khopanala, Chumoukedima District. Such acts of violence are alien and unheard of in Nagaland and have no place in our peaceful society. Attempts to spread fear, create panic, and destabilize the State must be condemned in the strongest terms.

I urge the law enforcement agencies to swiftly identify and bring the perpetrators to justice. My deepest condolences to the family who lost his life and wishing a speedy recovery to those injured.

The recent spate of sexual assault cases in our State is deeply disturbing and a matter of grave concern. The latest incident involving the alleged rape of an 82-year-old woman in Kiphire has shocked the conscience of our society.

What makes this incident even more appalling is that the accused is a police personnel, someone entrusted with the solemn responsibility of upholding the law and protecting the lives and dignity of our citizens. Such a betrayal of public trust is unacceptable and must be dealt with firmly.

I unequivocally condemn this disgraceful act and urge that the accused be brought to justice swiftly and in accordance with the law. My thoughts and prayers are with the victim and her family during this painful time.

Privileged to witness a meaningful partnership with @SELCOFoundation towards inclusive development through clean and sustainable energy in Nagaland.

At a time when the world is facing the impact of over-dependence on fossil fuels, sustainable energy solutions have become more important than ever. For Nagaland, especially in remote areas where uninterrupted power supply remains a challenge, solar-powered interventions can greatly strengthen healthcare, livelihoods, and community development.

The “Energy for Health” initiative in collaboration with the Department of Health & Family Welfare is a commendable step in ensuring better healthcare delivery in remote regions through sustainable energy solutions.

I appreciate SELCO Foundation and all departments, officials, and partners involved for their commitment towards building a more sustainable and resilient Nagaland through collaboration, innovation, and community participation.
