Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio has called for strengthening Naga unity across political, cultural and social spheres, emphasising the importance of preserving collective identity.
Organised by the Nagaland and Union governments, the annual Hornbill festival -- celebrated from December 1 to 10 -- is meant to encourage inter-tribal interaction and to preserve and protect Naga heritage.
The bravado of NDA ministers may have undone the gains made in cross-border security cooperation over the past several years.
