Thoubal, May 19 2015 :
Sehao villagers, who have been taking refuge at Khangbarol BDO office complex since past one week, have returned to their village and burnt down the dismantled camp of Kuki National Liberation Front today.
The villagers have been taking shelter at the BDO complex after they fled their house as some armed cadres of KNLF allegedly beat up some villagers brutally including the village chief and six labourers engaged in construction works under PMGSY on May 9 .
After getting information about shifting of KNLF cadres from Simol and dismantling of their camp by the authority concerned, the villagers returned to their village along with their belongings.
Soon after they reached their village, the villagers including women burnt down the already dismantled camp of Kuki National Liberation Front.
However, the property of Simol village including the village community hall located inside the camp and livestock of the armed outfit were left untouched by the villagers.
