Declaration of public emergency
Demanding creation of a separate Frontier Naga Province, the organization said that due to the delay by the Government of India in clearing the proposal for creation of FNT through the Home Ministry, the tribal bodies and frontal organizations declare public emergency in the entire Nagaland with immediate effect. .
Demand for a separate state since 2010
ENPO has been demanding a separate state since 2010, claiming that Mon, Tuensang, Longleng, Kiphire, Noklak and Shamtor districts in the eastern part of Nagaland have always been neglected. Therefore, FNT should be made for the development of these districts. ENPO said that any post-poll assurances in this regard will not be accepted.
