Описание: Namgalong Village, erstwhile known as Burma Camp Kabui Basti, celebrated its 75th year Platinum Jubilee on January 31, 2023 under the theme - TOWARDS A TOLERANT AND INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY

Mr Johnny Ruangmei, Joint CEO, NSDMA, Govt. of Nagaland was the special guest at the programme, which was organised by the Namgalong Rongmei Council.

According to the official records of the Deputy Commissioner of the then Naga Hills district of Assam, the village was established via a "Settlement Order" issued by the DC of Naga Hills, Charles R Pawsey on November 12, 1947. The document of settlement was signed by the SDO to the DC, A Kevichusa.

The settlement order was issued to five individuals namely - Papana Kabui, Kadetchung, Kaguilin, Gaipuichun and Pantiful who became the founders of the village and whose descendants exist to this day.

Papana Kabui was the first headman of the village, followed by Pauchalei Kabui, who became the first government appointed GB of the village in the year 1959.

It merits to mention that prior to the establishment of Namgalong village in 1947, there were two Rongmei villages already in existence in Dimapur namely - Ragailong which was established in 1937 in the erstwhile Fullerganz Bazaar where the present New Market stands. The village was shifted to the present site at Burma Camp in 1964.

The other village was Tangnajeilong, established in 1942 by Mubipou Kabui and his brother Kaningjei. It went on to be known as Zeliangrong village "to foster brotherhood and strengthen familial bond among the Rongmei, Liangmai and Zeme, who came later and settled in the village.
