CM Sarma said, "Weakening the BJP does not mean weakening any individual. It means weakening an ideology and national pride. Weakening the BJP means creating innumerable obstacles in the path to take India to the world stage."
The celebrations were cancelled in 2020 and 2021, but Yepthomi promises that this year's Hornbill Festival will be a grand affair with new ideas and concepts.
Digital Desk: Preparations for the famed Hornbill festival, which will be held with much grandeur this time after two years of subdued celebrations, were in full swing in Nagaland, informed an official today.
The festival will be held from December 1 to 10 at Naga Heritage Village in Kisama, about 12 kilometres from the state capital of Kohima, according to H Khehovi Yepthomi, advisor for Tourism and Art & Culture.
Yepthomi presided over a coordination meeting with tribal hohos on Monday to discuss preparations for the festival, the state government's annual tourism promotion event that brings the Naga tribes together. The festival, which first took place in 2010, will be in its 23rd year.
The celebrations were cancelled in 2020 and 2021, but Yepthomi promises that this year's Hornbill Festival will be a grand affair with new ideas and concepts.
Due to the pandemic, the festival was held for nearly three days in 2020, whereas the festival was cancelled midway last year following the killing of civilians at Oting in Mon district.
The Hornbill Festival, which has gained international attention, promotes Nagaland and its tribes' rich and colourful culture, according to Yepthomi.
