Tsungiki Village Council (TVC) has clarified to the news item, ‘28 Assam Rifles seizes liquor in Wokha’ published on January 20 stating that the mentioned accused Renthungo Humtsoe is son of late Chumzamo Humtsoe of Humtso village and not Chumyamo Humtsoe as mentioned.
A press note from TVC chairman, Pilamo Ezung stated that TVC has ascertained the name of the accused. It stated that the accused had also admitted that he was moving the illegal consignment towards Mokokchung for business purposes when his vehicle broke down. To escape notice, he admitted to have hidden the consignment at the go-down of a mill near Tsungiki Bazaar without the knowledge of the owner or Tsungiki villagers.
Condemning the act, TVC cautioned that it would take prompt and proper action against defaulters as deemed fit. Tsungiki Village Council also informed all concerned that TVC would carry out surprise checks along the NH 2 passing through its jurisdiction and defaulters, if any, would be strictly dealt with according to the laws governing its village. Tsungiki Village Council has further lauded the prompt and appropriate action of 28 Assam Rifles in apprehending such bootleggers in the area.
