Union Home Secretary G K Pillai on Wednesday discussed the situation in Nagaland with Governor Nikhil Kumar and Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio in the wake of Manipur government opposing National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak Muivah leader T Muivah's visit to his village.

Pillai, on his arrival from Imphal, met the Governor and later held talks with the chief minister and senior officials. The home secretary was accompanied by Naga peace interlocutor R S Pande.

He will meet Muivah at Viswema village on the Nagaland-Manipur border. On Tuesday, Pillai and Pande met Manipur Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh in Imphal to discuss the situation in the state arising out of an economic blockade imposed by Naga students and Muivah's attempt to enter Manipur.

The Manipur government has clamped prohibitory orders at the Mao checkgate on the inter-state border and deployed police in strength to prevent Muivah from visiting his native village in the state.
