Imphal, June 25 2024:
The Chandel Naga People's Organisation (CNPO) has asked the Government and the relevant authorities to not carry out any combing operation in the district.
CNPO, in a statement, said that the plan to carry out weekly combing operation till June 29 at some villages under Chandel and Chakpikarong police stations in Chandel has alarmed the peaceful Naga people of the district.
Saying that CNPO and the people cannot digest the policy as 'Chandel is a peace zone and inhabited by Nagas', the Naga organisation added that Chandel remains neutral till today though there is ethnic violence/crisis in some areas of the State from the past many months.
It urged the authority concerned to immediately revoke "such combing operation plan and related activities in the district.
