Volunteers from Southern Angami Youth Organisation (SAYO) Monday damaged seven vehicles belonging to Mao Nagas.
The action was carried out between 3pm to 5 pm along the National Highway 2 within the Southern Angami jurisdiction.
The exact location where the action was carried out could not be confirmed.
The destroyed vehicles include one each of Tata mobile, Tata sumo, Alto, Wagon R and Van.
However, there was no report of any untoward incident upon the travelers.
SAYO President Kekhruhol Mekro said that Monday's action was carried out in order to send a 'clear message' to the Mao Nagas for their failure to withdraw the police personnel of Manipur who are still camping at Kezol forest and Dz�kou area.
"We have requested them to withdraw police force from the said area, but they didn't comply to our request.
That is why we have come up with the evacuation notice," Mekro said.
"Going by humanitarian ground, we decided to relax the vacation notice for few days after Naga Hoho intervened, but they let the police force continue to camp up there," he reiterated.
On being asked whether they will continue with their decision, the SAYO president said that they will stick to their decision till the authorities work out a settlement.
