Dimapur, June 6 (MExN): Moral policing continues in Dimapur with another group, the NSCN (IM), issuing a “public notice” prohibiting use or sale of alcohol “beyond 10 PM” and even “discotheque activity” as such activities has “degraded the moral standard of our society.” A note was received here today appended by L Chuba Pongen “central administrative officer” of “UT-1”.
The NSCN (IM) explained that “no tolerance shall be afforded” to any individual, “restaurants, pubs, lounges, booze joints indulging in selling, consumption of alcoholic beverages” in Dimapur district “beyond “10 pm.” There will be total ban on any “discotheque activity” within Dimapur and “non-adherence of this notice shall invite serious consequences.” The group claimed that the “non-compliance of earlier notices has degraded the moral standard of our society” and that Dimapur has become the center of criminal activities “during the nighttime.”
