Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF)'s armed wing, Zeliangrong Tiger Force (ZTF), conducted a raid at a NSCN-U camp which was established at a village in Noney district today.
A statement issued by the ZUF chief secretary A Riamroi today conveyed that the ZTF destroyed the NSCN-U camp which was established at Soubunglong (Laishok) Part III, Noney district, at around 3.50 pm today.
The ZTF team was able to retrieve an AK rifle, one 9 mm pistol and a Lenovo laptop from the camp, apart from taking some NSCN - U cadres as prisoners, it claimed, adding that however, the ZTF eventually released the arrested cadres after giving a warning, as they were all Zeliangrongs.
It informed that the said camp was established by Raitu Chawang and S Kamson, both of whom defected from ZUF, after they joined NSCN-U.It further alleged that they (the two defectors) have been carrying out extortions and abductions in Zeliangrong areas for quite some time and the camp was destroyed today, after they failed to change their ways despite repeated warnings from ZUF, claimed the statement.
