	Nagaland News - 50
		The agreement, which was reached at talks in Amsterdam, called for the ceasefire to be extended to other Naga-inhabited areas in neighbouring states, but the government decided to limit it to Nagaland following violent protests in those states.
		The June 14 agreement in Bangkok, proposing an extension of the ceasefire area led to a backlash by the majority community in Manipur, the Meitei Vaishavites, angered by decades of bad governance and for being taken for granted by their leaders and New Delhi.
		There is another factor in Manipur - having successfully agitated for a rollback of the Bangkok agreement which extended the ceasefire ''without territorial limits'', the Meitei people of the Imphal Valley must come to terms with the rift between them and the Nagas who dominate parts of the Manipuri hills.
