Naga Council Dimapur (NCD) has condemned the bid on the lives of Joy Chandra on March 22 and Rekha Das on March 23 in Dimapur by armed miscreants, “exposing the spate of lawlessness”.
In a statement issued to the media on Sunday, NCD general secretary Thsapongkyu Sangtam said there was no justification/sense to murder and killings in a civilised world. He said as a peace loving citizen he condemned all evil acts waged on any citizen irrespective of one’s religion, caste, creed or culture.
Dimapur being the commercial hub of Nagaland, Sangtam said it was imperative on the part of State government step up security and safety measures for all citizens and establishments.
Alleging that the town was infested with illegal collections, NCD also accused the district administration of having failed to contain the menace despite putting efforts. Stating that it had voiced its concern at the proliferation of organisations and unauthorised collections umpteen number of times, NCD also proposed a body of experts with representatives from the government, semi-government agencies, NGOs, retired judges, market experts, etc. to curb the menace, besides checking price rise.
The council suggested that the committee should conduct a study on the illegal collections and help the administration to come out with a concrete mechanism to contain the problem effectively. According to NCD, the cycle of disturbance had bred generations of disturbed young Nagas, whose potential for positive life had been undermined, thereby jeopardising their own future.
While awaiting a final, honourable and acceptable solution to the Naga imbroglio, it was of vital importance to maintain peace and carry on with normal life on a par with people in other States and nations, the organisation stressed.
