Senapati, October 04 2024: The Naga Women's Union (NWU) has extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families who have lost their loved ones in the tragic Ukhrul incident of October 2 and made an earnest call for peace.

Wishing a speedy recovery to all those injured on the unfortunate day, the NWU made an appeal to both the Hunphun and Hungpung villages to adhere to the peace framework by reducing tensions.

In their appeal for peace, the Union urged everyone to remember that "There are more elements that unite us than divide us" .

Though the intensity of the conflict is evident, NWU said that individuals, especially women and children, desire a society free from violence and conflict.

Despite differing ideologies, particularly regarding traditional properties governed by customary institutions, the Union stated that both Hunphun and Hungpung share the same ancestral background.

A conflict between these two villages, which are part of a larger community, affects thousands, NWU noted.

Thus it called for a swift resolution to the tensions between the two villages, emphasizing that conflicts should be curbed by those in a civilized society.

The Union earnestly appealed for respect towards the noble call for peace issued by the Tangkhul Shanao Long through the 'Pukreila Custom' of the Tangkhul tribe.
