We, the Haochong Youth Club (HYC) and Haochong Student Organization (HSO), are deeply concerned by the current crisis in the state and are actively working with government agencies and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to facilitate normalcy in the state.
However, we strongly condemn the physical assault carried out by armed miscreants on Michael Inka on January 13, 2024, at Kangchup Chingkhong around 5.45 PM. Michael Inka, a driver affiliated with the 102 Ambulance Service attached to the Primary Health Centre (PHC) of Haochong. He was in the process of transporting essential medicines and supplies for the Haochong area when the incident occurred.
The armed miscreants falsely accused the driver, an Inpui (Kabui) Naga who is a resident of Haochong, of transporting medicine for the Kukis. The incident has instilled fear and apprehension among the populace, and if such incidents are left unaddressed, they have the latent potential to escalate, potentially resulting in conflicts.
We urge the government to take immediate action against those culprits and to enhance security measures along the route which is situated in an active conflict zone. The government must ensure the safety of civilians and individuals engaged in essential services, prevent further untoward incidents, and uphold peace in the state.
