The United Naga Council (UNC) alleged that Manipur police commandos and the para-military force/Army personnel are creating fear psychosis in Chandel and Khoupum areas "in this Christmas season".
The UNC said that the activities of the security forces are spoiling the festive mood by "disturbing the peace atmosphere in Chandel and Khoupum areas" of the people .
According to the UNC, frisking and other activities of the security force personnel have created an "alarming situation in these Naga areas".
The UNC further alleged that the security forces have "failed to respect the religious sentiments of the people" .
The Naga body demanded the immediate withdrawal of the security forces from the "peaceful Naga areas".
The UNC said that it will take up its own course of measures if the security forces do not pay heed to its "demand" to withdraw from Chandel and Khoupum areas .
The UNC also demanded that the Assam Rifles vacates from the compound of Kaimai Baptist Church in Tousem sub division of Tamenglong district .
