NSCN (I-M) has asserted that it has taken serious note of the August 12, 2016 Wokha incident, wherein its “officially designated tax collectors” were assaulted while “on duty” allegedly by a group of persons “with vested interest.”
In a press release, secretary kilo affairs, S. Among Lim, stated that the “unruly mob” aggregated the incident as they allegedly assaulted the cadres who “by chance” were saved by police. “They ransacked the Town Command office and destroyed the government properties and burned down documents, which is very serious in nature,” said Lim.
Secretary kilo affairs pointed out that “maj.” Nrikhon, Naga army, was officially assigned by the “government” as zonal tax officer, Wokha, but “certain vested interest persons” have been obstructing from carrying out his assigned duties.
“Further an FIR was lodged against him to the Indian state police and thereafter they have been on witch hunt,” secretary stated.
NSCN (I-M) has therefore cautioned that in the event any untoward incident that may happen against ‘maj.’ Nrikhon, the persons concerned “shall face the law.”
