Dimapur Bongs: Expressing shock over the broad daylight attempt on the lives of two citizens of Dimapur, the Dimapur Bongs Friday the incidents have raised questions about the general safety of public.
They said even as Dimapur was recovering from the shock of violent attack on Joy Chandra, today’s attempt on the life of a woman has caused much alarm.
After Dimapur came under the Commissioner of Police, Dimapur Bongs said there has been marked improvement in law and order. However, they said the twin violent incidents gave rise to doubt about the law and order situation in the district.
Irrespective of whether a citizen was a Naga or non-Naga, Dimapur Bongs said such incidents were highly condemnable.
These two incidents, Dimapur Bongs said have compelled them to question the unabated and random tax collection by people who claim to belong to different factions, and issue death threats in the name of “National Workers.”
Frequently, Dimapur Bongs said they were not in a position to ascertain the veracity of such claims and many comply with such demands fearing risk to life and limb.
Condemning both the incidents, the Dimapur Bongs urged all responsible authorities to undertake investigations at the earliest and bring the culprits to book.
They also called upon the civil society organisations to condemn such acts of violence.
Meanwhile, Dimapur Bongs wished Joy Chandra and Rekha Das speedy recovery.
