Naga groups celebrate its 73rd Naga Independence Day by hoisting Naga National Flag
Guwahati, Aug 14 (IBNS): Nagaland on Wednesday celebrated its 73rd Naga Independence Day by hoisting ‘Naga National Flag’ across the Naga inhabitant areas, including Myanmar, a day before the rest of India unfurls tricolour.
The influential Naga Students’ Federation (NSF), United Naga Council hoisted the ‘Naga National Flag’ in various Naga inhabitant areas in Nagaland, Manipur, parts of Myanmar.
Apart from NSF, United Naga Council, the rebel group NSCN-IM had also celebrated 73rd Naga Independence Day at Hebron near Dimapur.
On 14 August 1947, one day before India gained its independence, leaders belonging to various Naga tribes came together to unfurl their ‘National Flag’ in Kohima and the Naga groups declared the independence of Naga region.
Various Naga organisations have celebrated the Naga Independence Day every year, but this year celebrations attained significance in the wake of the withdrawal of special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
