Dimapur | March 8
People continue to defy prohibitory orders and intrude into the disputed area at the Dimapur-Karbi-Anlong border. On March 8, Indisen villagers and a group of around hundred people nearly came to blows after the former prevented the latter from going through the village to the disputed site. The situation was prevented from going out of hand, following intervention of the Dimapur district administration and police.
According to the Indisen Village Council, the village had passed a resolution on March 5 that no people from outside the village will be allowed to pass through the village to the disputed site. On March 8, a group of around a hundred people approached the village gate in vehicles, who were asked to turn back. The group of people went back but returned, resulting in an hour long stand-off. The group of people eventually retreated after the district administration intervened.
The Indisen Village Council stated that it will continue to keep vigil for the sake of maintaining peace in the border and in the village. The council however informed that people continue to intrude into the disputed site from unguarded sections along the Dimapur-Karbi-Anglong border, while section 144 of the Cr. PC continues to remain in force along the border shared by Indisen and Rilan Yan villages.
