Tengnoupal, May 27 2022:
The Hill Tribal Council (HTC), Tengnoupal district has endorsed the anti-drug mission of the special commando team recently deputed in Moreh for a period of two months while also suggesting a few precautionary measures for the commando team.
In a statement, HTC urged the special commando team to include lady security personnel and responsible local residents while carrying out frisking and raiding suspected residences.
The statement also advised the team to get acknowledgement from local Civil Society Organisations in taking up any non-drug related cases.
Lastly, HTC appealed to the authorities concerned to de-install the special commando team from the border town at the end of the slated two months.
HTC cautioned that any eventuality arising out of unwanted security excesses due to non-drug related activities by the special commando team will most likely invite public wrath and protest.
