Nagaland CM says lack of infrastructure hampering development in NER

Kohima, May 28 (UNI) Nagaland Chief Minister T R Zeliang today said that the North Eastern region has not been able to keep pace with the mainland particularly due to lack of required infrastructure for good governance and economic development.
According to a statement addressing the 65th plenary session of the North Eastern Council (NEC) at Shillong, Mr Zeliang further lamented that owing to geographical isolation, combined with social, cultural and ethnic factors, majority of the people from the North East have not been able to easily integrate emotionally, culturally and politically with mainland India for decades since Independence.
He was, however, optimistic that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and DoNER Minister Jitendra Singh, the region would see a new direction for development in the days to come and hoped that the budget for the NEC would be enhanced adequately in the years ahead.
