Ukhrul, December 06 2013 :
The Wung Tangkhul Region, Government of People's Republic of Nagalim (NSCN-IM) has banned an NGO, Centre for Development Activities operating in the district with immediate effect.
The lesser known NGO has been found in the district implementing TI Project in Sinakeithei, Ukhrul.
The activities are deliberately ignoring the competent local NGOs working consistently in fighting against HIV/ AIDS and others relating to injecting drugs users, said a press statement issued by the NSCN-IM's Wung Tangkhul Region.
"Hence to discourage making money at the cost of human lives, the so called Centre for Development Activities is banned to operate in Ukhrul District with immediate effect and hereby directed to all entities that are being associated with CDA be immediately dissociated with CDA and no individual, agency, organisation, village and department should have any dealing with CDA from the date of issuance of this ban order," the NSCN-IM statement said.
Meanwhile when contacted, the District AIDS Prevention Control Unit also clarified that CDA is a new NGO and its activities were never known before, said the Monitoring and Evaluation officer.
