Nagaland Post | 12 Nov. 2011 12:58 AM IST:
Six persons from Jessami village, Ukhrul district, Manipur were reportedly abducted by some surrounding Naga villagers on Friday sparking off tension in the border area.
Confession: In their confessional statement at Meluri village before the Meluri Village Council, which told to Nagaland Post, the six admitted that Murosou (between 126 to 127 Kms from Kohima, originally belonged to Meluri village. They disclosed that they were directed by Jessami village to “forcibly occupy” the land and cut the greenery for plantation. They admitted they had “illegally exploited the resources like firewood and destroyed the traditionally jhum cultivated land” and rendering it “unfit”.
A report from Imphal alleged that the six were abducted near Akash bridge across the Tizu river that divides Manipur’s Jessami and Meluri under Phek district Friday afternoon, while on way to their paddy field.
Sources said the border dispute between Jessami (Manipur) and Meluri (Nagaland) had a long history after borders were delineated between Manipur and Nagaland with villagers from both sides making claims and counter-claims.
