Dimapur, August 16 2013 : Pandemonium between the Assam Rifles and NSCN-K has cropped up again.

The NSCN-K today alleged that the 33 Assam Rifles have violated the Cease Fire Ground Rules (CFGR) as they had raided and seized the NSCN-K properties which contravents the clear CFGRs agreed upon by the both sides while signing Ceasefire between the government of India and NSCN-K way back in 2001."The 33rd AR raided the residence of Col.Piyong at Mon town in Nagaland and seized properties belonging to the NSCN functionary in direct violation of agreed CFGRs.

It is noted here that Col.Piyong in line with the CFGRs concealed his weapon however, the 33rd AR dug out the hidden arms along with huge numbers of ammunition at fire brigade colony Mon town," the NSCN-K note alleged.

It then said NSCN-K colonel in question hid the arms respecting the CFGRs but to his utter surprise the 33rd Assam Rifles dug the entire compound and seized the arms that was kept concealed in line with the CFGRs and took away one M16 Rifle along with huge numbers of ammunition in direct violation of the agreed CFGRs.

"It may be noted here that the CFGRs clearly indicate that no raiding, ransacking and damaging to any property belonging to the NSCN members as per the agreed upon CFGRs.

However, the 33rd AR randomly raided and ransacked the residence of its member Col.Piyong and also took away the arms and ammunition in direct contravention to the CFGRs which threaten the continuance of the ongoing CF between the NSCN and the GOI.

If the GOI are sincere then the illegal actions of the AR should be checked in time less the NSCN runs out of its patience and even may lead to breaking down of the ongoing ceasefire which the Naga doesn't want at this juncture," the NSCN-K statement added.
