A press note issued by Joseph Mech, secretary, information and publicity, KTCN stated that it has also come to light that the incident was the culmination of series of harassment meted out to the Hajadisa villagers, over the issue of construction of village gate well inside their own village which was allegedly opposed by the GB of Khekiho village.
