Nagaland Demands Full Withdrawal of PAP Regime Before Hornbill Festival

Nagaland is gearing up for the annual Hornbill Festival, a major cultural showcase that draws visitors from across India and abroad. As preparations intensify, state officials have issued a formal demand for the complete withdrawal of the PAP regime, citing concerns over governance and public sentiment.
The call for the regime's exit was made in a statement released by the Nagaland administration, emphasizing that the decision is intended to ensure a peaceful and uninterrupted celebration of the festival. Authorities indicated that the demand will be communicated to the relevant central and regional bodies for swift action.
Stakeholders, including local community leaders and festival organizers, have welcomed the move, viewing it as a step toward maintaining the festival's traditional spirit and security. The administration has pledged to monitor the situation closely and to implement any necessary measures before the festival commences.
The Hornbill Festival, scheduled to begin later this month, remains a focal point for tourism and cultural exchange in the Northeast. The state's request underscores the political sensitivities that often accompany large public events in the region.
