Mokokchung, July 6 (MExN): Reports reaching here from Geeleki Town said that in a meeting held today, no settlement has been reached so far.
Highly reliable sources said that the public are not happy with the Assam police, who cold bloodedly killed one Naga villager Alemongba, early last month. However, the Assam public is also equally unhappy that innocent labourers have been killed.
However, Assam public is also saying that they want no hostility with the Naga public and that violence is not the way.
Meanwhile, Deputy Commissioner of Mokokchung, Abhishek Singh has strongly appealed to both the Assamese and Naga villagers to restrain from taking any actions that may escalate the situation.
“I want to appeal to both the villagers of Assam and Nagaland at the border areas that it is a fact that we will remain neighbours. A incident like this should not come in the way of the cordial relationship we shared,” said Singh.
He also called upon the Assamese villagers that whoever has committed the crime is done by criminals and that they should not be branded to either Assamese or Naga community. “Criminals belong to criminal community, and the innocent should not be targeted because of them, and we should not brand them to that community or that community,” said Singh.
The Mokokchung Chamber of Commerce and Industries (MCCI), today strongly strongly condemned the incident that occurred at Anaki ‘C’ Village on July 5, where two persons lost their lives.
“Whoever have done this, they are subject to outright condemnations from all sections of our society. This kind of arsons and killing will never bring peace to anybody anywhere” said M Bendangnukshi Longkumer, the president of the MCCI in a press release.
The MCCI also requested the Government to take appropriate steps with right earnest in order to book the culprits and award punishment for the crime committed.
The MCCI further appealed to all the people from the states of Nagaland and Assam to restrain from escalating violence, maintaining the age-old friendly relations between the people of both the states, Longkumer said.
