New Delhi, April 20: The Centre on Wednesday extended the ceasefire agreement with three Naga insurgent groups for one more year, informed the Ministry of Home Affairs.
In a press release, the Ministry said that Ceasefire Agreements are in operation between the Government of India and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-NK (NSCN-NK), National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Reformation (NSCN/R) and National Socialist Council of Nagaland K-Khango (NSCN K-Khango).
“It was decided to extend the Ceasefire Agreements for a further period of one year with effect from April 28, 2022, to April 27, 2023, with NSCN-NK and NSCN-R and from April 18, 2022, to April 17, 2023, with NSCN K-Khango. These agreements were signed on April 19, 2022,” said the statement.
On September 8, the Centre signed a one-year ceasefire agreement with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (K) Niki Group, claiming that the initiative is fulfilling Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a ‘insurgency-free and prosperous North East’ and is a significant boost to the Naga peace process, which is overseen by Union Minister of Home Affairs and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah.
