DIMAPUR, OCTOBER 16 (MExN): The Naga Council has stated that it was horrified to learn that situation in Dimapur has come to such a pass that it was no longer safe even for public leaders who tirelessly work for the welfare of society. A press note stated that the attempt on the life of Yimchungru Tribal Council Vice-President on October 10, 2011should be an eye opener for all sections of society. “It was through sheer providence that the public leader lived to tell the tale and throw some light on the identity of the persons”, the Naga Council stated.
The Naga Council also condemned the twin vehicle thefts committed on October 3rd and 10th where one of the vehicle owner’s life was attempted upon and the other badly beaten. In the other incident committed on October 3rd, a vehicle owned by one Veshuhu Vero and driven by his son was waylaid by miscreants near their house at Naharbari colony and the vehicle, a brand new A-Star (Maruti) snatched away. That this was a pre-meditated plan can be gauged from the fact that the theft occurred near the victim’s family residence after the car was blocked by another car, a white coloured A-Star, the Naga Council stated and added “It is beyond reprehensible that the driver was brutally attacked too”.
Naga Council being the apex tribal body of Dimapur stated that it was deeply concerned at the alarming incidences of anti-social activities occurring at regular intervals. The apex body appealed to the concerned authorities to apprehend the culprits at the earliest so that misunderstanding between communities does not crop up at any point of time. The Naga Council, like any other like-minded organizations held the view that criminals, irrespective of any affiliation, underground or communal deserve no leniency and should be prosecuted as such. It is also time for peace loving citizens of Dimapur to be exceptionally aware of their surroundings, the press note stated which was issued by Joel Nillo Kath, Finance Secretary and Dietho Rakho, Treasurer of Naga Council.
