Imphal, December 06 2024:
The Kom Tribe Organisation Valley (KTOV) has vehemently condemned the torture and severe assault of 10 innocent Kom villagers of Sagang areas at Dampi village by Kuki militants suspected to be Kuki Liberation Army (KLA) on December 4, 2024 .
According to a press release issued by KTOV, the Kom villagers were summoned by Kuki militants to Dampi Kuki village to deliver three bags each of paddy.
On reaching Dampi village, the Kuki militants suddenly started thrashing the 10 Kom villagers black and blue, and threatened them of dire consequence if they reported the matter to any authority.
This is totally unacceptable and highly deplorable, KTOV decried.
It said that Kuki militants frequently engage in illegal activities without fear of authorities in these areas.
KTOV then appealed to the State Govt and the Security Advisor to look into the matter immediately and take up befitting action against the culprits.
It warned that such provocation will not be taken lightly by the Kom community in future.
