Noney, March 24 2021:
A clash broke out between two groups at Charoi Pandongba village in Kangpokpi district injuring several people yesterday.
One of the parties were bringing the body of Guangsinrei Malangmei (26), son of Dingamlung Malangmei of Pongringlong (Charoi Pandongba) village, who was found dead in a suspected murder case at a place between Shejang and Charoi Pandongba village NH-37, under Kangpokpi police station on March 20 .
When the dead body was brought back home from JNIMS Morgue after postmortem, they were allegedly denied entry to the village for burial by the opposing party.
Leaders of Rongmei CSOs and Longmai (Noney) Area Villages then requested them repeatedly to allow them to proceed for burial on humanitarian ground.
However when womenfolk and youths tried to proceed, some people reportedly pelted stones at them and a clash ensued between the two sides injuring several volunteers of Peace Mission.
After a long confrontation, the leaders of Rongmei CSOs, RNCM, Longmai Area Villages including Gaiduan Kamei and Ex-MLA Jangamlung Panmei led a negotiation between the parties concerned for proper burial of the deceased.
It is suspected that the conflict was borne out of a Khullakpaship dispute between the two parties which is yet to be solved.
The alleged dispute between Gainaichung Malangmei party and Ningtoulung Daimai party has been going on since the past 10 years.
