Anal Naga Tangpi, Lamkang Naga Kver Kunpun, Maring Naga Baptist Association and Chandel District Christian Forum have strongly condemned the incident of damaging signboards, public properties including churches by bandh supporters during the Joint Non Goverment Organisation Kakching sponsored 24 Hrs bandh along NH-102 on June 11 .
ANTA president Wng Victor Kohring in a statement held the state govt responsible for the entire episode.
He said that Khangshim, Nungourok and Thamlakhuren villages have been paying hill house tax but denial of the state govt to transfer the land records despite repeated representations submitted by several organizations proves that the govt is indirectly involved in the violence.

Maring Naga Baptist Association, in a statement signed by its Executive Secretary Rev K Moses termed the incident of attacking churches and pastor quarters as 'senseless act of terrorism' and and condemned it in the strongest term.
