CheRüDiKi Public Organisation condemns

The CheRüDiki Public Organisation has condemned the 19 Assam Rifles for incessant raiding of residences within the CheRüDiKi range, terming it highly condemnable as it disturbs the peaceful atmosphere in the area. The Organisation stated that on December 19, 2013, personnel of the 19 Assam Rifles raided the house of the CheRüDiKi Public Organisation treasurer Zakieneituo Zhalie who is also editor of a newsletter of the Angami Mission (Assembly of God) at Chedema Village at around 3:00 A.M. The personnel further forced him to point out the house of Health Kilonser NSCN (IM) but reportedly found nothing on raiding the house of the latter.

The organisation has also reported that on January 14, 2014, personnel of the 19 Assam Rifles again raided the residence of Neisatuo Kets, VDB Secretary at Kijümetouma village. On finding that his residence had been locked, the personnel arrested his father, Yachütuo Kets under threat and forcibly unlocked and ransacked the house of Neisatuo. The father is reportedly in critical condition since the incident.

While expressing great shock and anger at the attitude of the Assam Rifles who claim to be ‘Friends of the Hills People’, the CheRüDiKi Public Organisation has condemned the acts of the so called protectors and questioned why the prevailing peace and tranquility is being disturbed thus. The organisation has further cautioned it would not tolerate such acts of disturbance within its area, and further appealed for refraining from this blatant abuse of rights in future.
