Imphal, April 07: Expressing serious concern over the rise in criminal activities among the young people in Naga society during the past few years, Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN) has termed it as an unfortunate trend.

In a statement, Midan Peyu of FGN, Shepoumaramth Region H John Vekhe observed that Naga leader AZ Phizo was proud of saying about the fair social and political system of the Nagas.

But unfortunately for the past few year, the nagas people have been experiencing heinous crimes committed by the young people such as killing, torturing and kidnapping for ransom.

The kidnapping and killing of Lungnila Elizabeth three years ago and two boys, Moheni Martin and Hrinii Hubert on December 14, 2006 for ransom were the most heinous crimes ever occurred in Nagaland, the statement said, adding that the day on which the funeral services of these young children was conducted would remain as a sorrowful and tearful day in the history of the Naga people.

Just as Phizo was proud of the fairness society and culture of the Naga, the statement exhorted that the Naga youth today should also be proud of their fair culture, tradition and its values, and should preserve it at all cost.

�All the youths are bound to check anti-social activities in our region and work against anti-social activists whatsoever be the anti-national elements or individual who are disturbing the sanity of our region and who breeds barbarism and terrorism�, the statement said.

The statement further said � all youth should have in their knowledge that Nagas proclaimed Nagaland for Christ.

So if the youths involve in the violent or anti-social activities, the shout for Nagaland for Christ would only be a deceit and lie.

Therefore the crime committed on the two boys should be the last and let our youths learn from it to love our people to do good for out people�.
