Senapati, June 26 2014:
The United Naga Council said it is greatly disturbed by the violent exchange between Makhan villages and Maram Khullen Circle villages on June 24 arising out of dispute over land.
According to the UNC, the incident has resulted in injuries, damage to houses and deeply hurt sentiments.
The two parties have been neighbours since so many years in peaceful co-existence and the highly vitiated situation in the area and among these Naga brothers has been very saddening, it reminded.
"We condemn any form of violence because it silences the voice of reason within society and within oneself.
We appeal to the parties to allow good sense to prevail and for amicable settlement of the dispute through our customary laws," the UNC said.
The UNC then said the civil society, which upholds the unity and oneness of the people once again appeal to all concern to refrain from violence, use of weapons and indulging in self infliction which reduces our hopes and aspirations as a people.
