Nagaland CM calls for inclusive growth

Kohima, Aug 15 (PTI) Braving inclement weather, people across Nagaland today celebrated the 63rd Independence Day with much enthusiasm as Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio reaffirmed his government's commitment towards achieving permanent peace and inclusive growth in the state.

While unfurling the national tri-colour at the civil secretariat ground here, Rio said: "Inclusive growth is the objective of government. I can assure you that the government will continue to work with full commitment and sincerity in meeting the people's expectations."

Rio called upon all sections of society to extend cooperation to the recently-formed 'Naga Common Platform' so that the Nagas could present a unified voice before the Centre for finding an acceptable solution to the decades-old Naga political conflict.
