‘We have to move forward where time lead us. We cannot remain stagnant in one place only in this digitalized generation. This is our soil and country; let us all uplift our land by institutionalising our activities’. The Speaker of Nagaland Legislative Assembly Sharingain Longkumer echoed these sentiments while releasing Vision Mokokchung 2040 at ADC Planning Hall Mokokchung on Saturday.
