The NPAC has stated that the bandh has been called during the visit of the ECI team to Nagaland so as to show the election commission that the mood of the people of the state is “solution before elections”.

The NPAC has appealed to the people of Nagaland to observe the bandh in total.

Notably, assembly elections in Nagaland are scheduled to be held soon as the present term of the legislative assembly in the state would expire on March 4.
