Several Naga tribes and organisations under the aegis of the United Naga Council have decided to snap ties with the Manipur government.
The convention organised at Senapati in Manipur on Wednesday discussed the central government's decision to retract from the June 14 Bangkok agreement between the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (Isak-Muivah) and the Union government.
About 1000 delegates from 15 Naga tribes and NGOs vested the responsibility on the UNC to run the administration and other aspects of governance according to the Naga traditional system of village administration until an alternative arrangement was made.
The Nagas residing in Manipur also agreed not to pay any surcharge or taxes to the government and asked all schools and colleges to withdraw their affiliation from the Manipur Board of School Education and the Manipur University.
The convention endorsed the resolution adopted by the Nagaland Legislative Assembly and the Naga Hoho on the integration of Naga contiguous areas.
The Naga Peoples Movement for Human Rights secretary general Neingulo Krome welcomed the decision of the convention and assured support to the movement.
