Tension prevailed along the Assam-Nagaland border near Saring village on Sunday after a group of armed miscreants from the neighbouring village in Assam attacked a policeman.<\/div>\n
According to reports, around 20 to 30 people armed with machetes from no. 9 Naginijan village reached the police check gate near Saring village in Mokokchung district on the pretext of searching for a lost cow, which they alleged, was stolen by Saring villagers.<\/div>\n
Saring Village Council (SVC) members and youth volunteers along with police personnel were also present at the gate for monitoring movement of people in view of the lockdown.<\/div>\n
However, when the miscreants reportedly tried to cross the check gate, a commotion broke out during which one of the miscreants reportedly attacked a 2nd NAP personnel on duty with a machete and cut through his boots injuring the latter’s left toe. The situation was later brought under control after police teams from both sides held a meeting on July 13 in the presence of members of SVC, Japukong Youth Organisation and Japukong Students’ Union.<\/div>\n
When contacted, director general of police (DGP) T John Longkumer confirmed the incident and said that a policeman was injured by one of the miscreants. He said the Assam Police had identified the miscreant responsible for the assault.<\/div>\n
Mokokchung superintendent of police Vishal also informed that the issue had been amicably settled by both the Assam and Nagaland villagers. He added that the two sides had also filed a case at Longchem police station. Police would investigate the matter to get further details, he added.<\/div>\n
