On December 20, the Wokha Town Council (WTC) inaugurated and dedicated its newly upgraded office building, with Deputy Chief Minister Y. Patton serving as the special guest. The event also featured Dr. Chumben Murry, Advisor to the Chief Minister, as a special invitee, alongside key officials such as Vineet Kumar, Wokha’s Deputy Commissioner, and M. Rhovisie Nyuwi, Superintendent of Police.
In his address, Deputy CM Patton commended the 15 councillors and five government nominees for their cooperation in the successful construction of the building. He urged them to continue working collaboratively for the town’s and district’s development under the guidance of the Nagaland Municipal Act 2022. Patton praised Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio’s leadership, which facilitated the revival of the Urban Local Body elections after a two-decade pause, emphasizing an opposition-less government to support the Naga political settlement. He expressed concern over fragmented Naga political factions, advocating for unity to secure a comprehensive political solution, pivotal to the Naga identity.
Dr. Chumben Murry encouraged the WTC members to adopt a forward-thinking approach, drawing inspiration from neighboring areas to transform Wokha into a smart town. He highlighted the importance of leadership through teamwork and public relations, emphasizing that the newly inaugurated building should remain accessible to the public.
Murry pointed out that Nagaland operates with an opposition-less government, where the NDPP and BJP have been alliance partners since 2003. He urged councillors to familiarize themselves with the Nagaland Municipal Act of 2022 and adhere to anti-defection laws while fulfilling their governance roles.
The program was overseen by Nzano P. Kikon, Deputy Chairperson WTC, and included performances and speeches by local officials and dignitaries. The event concluded with a vote of thanks and mass benediction.
