Family members of one Ngangom Navy (29), who has been missing since May 28 during the gun battle between Kuki militants and state forces and local vol-unteers at Sugnu Nazareth, has urged authority con-cerned to trace whereabouts of Navy.
Speaking to reporters at the relief camp at Kakching Higher Secondary School on Thursday, Ahanbi Leima, mother of Navy of Sugnu ward number 2, deplored that there is no information about her son after over 11 days since the gunfight took place.
She fervently appealed to the state government to trace Navy's whereabouts or at least recover some mortal remains, if at all he is dead, so that his last rites can be performed.
A memorandum has also been submitted to the Kakching DC and SP in this regard.
Meanwhile, inmates of the relief camp informed that displaced people of Sugnu, Serou, Wapokpi, Napat and Tangjeng are not willing to return to their homes until permanent deployment of security forces, other than Assam Rifles.
On the other hand, Sugnu Municipal Council chair-person Moirangthem Sarat submitted a memorandum to chief minister N Biren through the Kakching DC urging to deploy non-AR central security forces so that people of Sugnu and nearby areas can resettle in peace.
