Imphal, March 21 2024:
The United Naga Council (UNC) has appealed for sanity to prevail among the Southern Angami and Mao people.
In a statement, the UNC said that the untold suffering, pain and the mental trauma as a result of the "Quit Notice" served on the Mao community by SAPO and SAYO is something that needs to be addressed with nobler mind and sanity.
It mentioned that land dispute is a common phenomenon everywhere as every Naga village shares a traditional village boundary with more than one village.
Taking the gravity of the situation into consideration, and sensing the impending danger of the deep divide amongst consanguines, the UNC appealed both the communities to rein in the situation and embrace the tenet of peace, love and forgiveness.
It is reported that the Mao Council had reciprocally acted on time to meet the ultimatum such as, restoration of the rest house, lifting of CrPc 144 and relocation of security personnel from the disputed area.
Further, through media outlets, it is learned that a team of TPO had inspected the area and confirmed fulfilment of the ultimatum as a step towards peaceful resolution and restoration of peace and tranquillity between the two kindred tribes, it said.
The UNC appealed both the SAPO and Mao Council to extend fullest cooperation to TPO in the process of justice dispensation and honour its verdict pronouncement as per the Naga customary law.
