Indefinite bandh called off

The Joint Coordination Committee comprising apex tribal organisations in Nagaland today decided to call off the indefinite bandh following an understanding with the state government to postpone the February one poll to urban local bodies.
The understanding between the government and the JCC was brokered by Nagaland Baptist Church Council at Chumukedima in Dimapur district.
According to a separate statement issued by the Chief Minister's office, the Nagaland government has agreed in principle to defer the ULB elections.
