Dimapur, September 19 2020:
NSCN (I-M) has termed as "absolutely baseless" the recent allegation by the Zeliangrong Baudi (Nagaland) that group's chairman Q Tuccu claimed Intangki Wildlife Sanctuary as "No man's Land" .
According to MIP, NSCN chairman during his consultative meeting with the tribal hohos in Dimapur had at no point in time stated that Intangki Wildlife Sanctuary is "No man's land" .
MIP said that "such allegation is misleading, unfounded and far from ground reality" .
MIP pointed out that during the Gilgal Camp (National Hoho) held from March 27 to April 2, 1996, one of the resolutions adopted was to protect all reserve forests in Naga areas and preserve from human exploitation and encroachment.
MIP said that prominently Intangki Wildlife Sanctuary was one such that attracted NSCN's attention for the preservation of wild life.
Since then, MIP said NSCN had stood by that resolution and "protected the Sanctuary from illegal encroachment in the face of many attempts made by people with vested interests" .
