The incident occurred at around 8 am when a group of approximately 50 heavily armed men allegedly entered the village.
The village is located along the fringe of the Imphal-Tipaimukh (IT) Road), about seven kilometres from Chalwu. Security forces were deployed in the area following the incident to secure the affected village and prevent further escalation. The latest incident is likely to further heighten security concerns in the region, where civilians have increasingly been caught amid clashes and violence involving armed groups. The meeting was attended by Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio, the Chief Secretary, Director General of Police, Nagaland, and senior officers of the Indian Army, Assam Rifles and Indian Air Force.
The incident occurred at around 8 am when a group of approximately 50 heavily armed men allegedly entered the village, opened fire on civilians and set several houses on fire.
It strongly condemned the incident as an “unprovoked and barbaric attack” on civilians and urged the authorities to immediately deploy adequate security personnel in the area.
