DIMAPUR, MARCH 31 (MExN): The Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) has called upon the Zeliangrong people to observe the 91st Zeliangrong Solidarity Day with "full reverence" at key headquarters across Assam, Nagaland, and Manipur.

According to ZUF, during this sacred event, "our forefathers performed deep secrecy rituals by sacrificing a pure black dog and cat-both without stripes." The ritual signified "purification, where many priests, elders, and leaders took an oath to forgive and forget all internal feuds and to strengthen the bond of brotherhood among the Zeliangrong people."
"It was firmly resolved that anyone who violated or abolished the oath of allegiance to Chukthoibe-Chuksumei-Chukthoibo would inevitably face the curse of the forefathers," the statement read.
Observances will take place at three key locations: Mount Bhubon/Duilumluang Provincial Headquarters in Assam, Mount Lwangdilwa/Pauna Provincial Headquarters in Nagaland, and Mount Koubru/Kandih Nah Raguang Provincial Headquarters in Manipur.
In honor of "our forefathers' commandments," ZUF has urged all Zeliangrong people "to offer morning prayers before stepping out of their homes as a symbol of unity and integrity among our people."
ZUF chairman S. Kamson stated that "the preamble of ZUF is solely aimed at safeguarding the Zeliangrong people, their land, and resources while promoting and preserving their culture and traditions."
The Front strongly warned against "the sale of land and the issuance of No Objection Certificates (NOCs) to the central or state governments, NGOs, Companies, Private Sectors, or Individuals who are not Zeliangrong origin."

Additionally, ZUF appealed for "the protection of fauna, flora, and rare species." It called for "an immediate halt to destructive fishing practices using electronic machines, inverters, bleaching powder, endrin and other harmful substances."
