Naga Groups Issue Ultimatum to Indian Govt. Over Border Issues
Naga groups are upset about the government's actions regarding the border with Myanmar.
They are against the removal of a rule that allowed free movement across the border and the building of a fence.
They worry this will hurt Naga people who live on both sides.
They've given the government 20 days to fix this, or they'll start more protests.
They've already tried other ways to show their anger, like talking to the government and holding demonstrations.
Naga organizations issued a 20-day ultimatum to the Indian government.
The ultimatum concerns the abrogation of the Free Movement Regime (FMR) and border fencing.
Naga bodies oppose the measures, citing impact on Naga communities and violation of rights.
The ultimatum was addressed to top Indian government officials.
Protests and demonstrations have already taken place in response to the issues.
