Rangoon, Aug. 26.
The head-hunting Naga tribesmen, in Burma's northwest frontier, are to receive the benefits of civilisation under the Government's Pyidawtha (welfare state) programme.
These semi-civilised tribesmen, estimated to number about 65,000, live along the mountainous and forest covered 360-mile border with India. There are 12 tribes of Nagas in Burma and many others on the
Indian side of the border.
