Imphal, February 01 2024:
Maring Frontal Organisations (MFO) comprising Maring Uparup Assembly (MUA), Maring Students' Union (MSU) and Maring Napuiya Yinglam/Maring Women Organisation (MNY) have strongly condemned alleged inhuman act of paramilitary forces stationed at 3 Assam Rifles, Tengnoupal beating Dk Korungthang black and blue after blindfolding him on January 30 .
In a joint release, MUA vice president Radmalv Dangshawa, MNY president K Hoinu Charanga and MSU general secretary Dangshawa Manyaibung contended that Dk Korungthang, son of Dk Konai of Khukarthil village and one of his associates Ds Moran, son of (late) Ds Leitol of N Satang village went to N Satang village under Tengnoupal district taking the route via Machi, but on reaching the Junction of Sansak road, some 3 AR personnel who were deployed there detained the duo and beat them.
Personal belongings of Dk Korungthang including cash amounting to Rs 4 lakh kept for business purpose and a Maruti Gypsy driven by him were also taken by the military personnel who detained them, it claimed.
Stating that paramilitary forces and AR often harass the people of the eastern Maring since long time back, MFO asserted that such instances of harassment have become intolerable for the innocent public.
MFO also cautioned the central paramilitary forces to shun harassing the public immediately.
The general public of Maring tribe feel insecure with the draconian act of Assam Rifles, it said and equivocally rejected the charges levelled against Dk Korungthang by the paramilitary forces as baseless.
The people living in the eastern Maring area dread the sight of armies, it said.
MFO further demanded that the AR team concerned return the cash amount and the Gypsy forcibly confiscated from Dk Korungthang within 24-hour failing which there will be agitation by public of Maring and Naga as a whole, it cautioned.
MFO also appealed to all the Naga CSOs and concerned Naga citizens to stand up against such terrifying, brutal and heinous act of central forces.
