Govt signed ceasefire agreement with NSCN/R

The government of India has signed a ceasefire agreement with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Reformation) [NSCN/R]. The agreement was signed by Shri Shambhu Singh, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Home Affairs and Shri Wangtin Konyak and P.Tikhak, co-convenors on behalf of NSCN/R. The Ceasefire and the mutually agreed Cease Fire Ground Rules will apply for a period of one year with effect from today. The Government of India has also extended the ceasefire with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Khole-Kitovi) [NSCN/KK] for a further period of one year with effect from today. The agreement to this effect was signed by Shri Shambhu Singh, Joint Secretary, MHA and Shri Jack Jimomi, Supervisor, GPRN/NSCN on behalf of NSCN/KK. The Government of India has meanwhile decided not to engage with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Khaplang) [NSCN/K] any longer and therefore the earlier Ceasefire agreement with NSCN/K is no longer valid.
