Northern Maram Students' & Youth Organization (NMSYO), in a statement vehemently condemned the dastardly act of 33 Assam Rifles in creating a fear Psychosis to innocent villagers of Kabaduikung, a village under New Maram village, Maram.
NMSYO alleged that in the wee hours of June 7, 33 AR personnel forcefully kicked open the front door and window of Karai John.
Later, a house belonging to a widow was also forcefully opened and ransacked even to the extent of unfolding the sleeping bed rolls.
The Assam Rifles personnel continued to torch the neighbouring 8 houses, photographed an old man who was sleeping with his son, ransacked the granaries and the houses, etc.
The atrocities continued till 2:00 am, it alleged.
NMSYO stated that the organization considered the horrifying acts meted out by 33 Assam Rifles as undermining the prevailing peace and tranquillity in the area.
What displeases the organization is that even the innocent public were not spared and harassed in their own land by Assam Rifles personnel for their vested interest in the guise of AFSPA.
The organization urged the higher authorities of Assam Rifles to return those materials and belongings of the people forcefully taken by the Assam Rifles personnel, and repair the damage caused in the raid.
RMSYO further urged the concerned authority to discipline all those involved and to respect the sentiments of the locals so that the Assam Rifles remain relevant to its slogan of "Friends Of The Hills People" .
