DIMAPUR, APRIL 19 (MExN): The Dimapur Ao Youth Organisation (DAYO) has cautioned people against “sharing of fake news and uploading pictures and videos of people indulging in criminal and morally abhorrent behaviours.”
A press release from the DAYO while encouraging people to point out irregularities in the fight against COVID-19, said that “great shame has been brought upon Nagaland as a whole by the actions of a few.”
“Due to such thoughtless and insensible actions by a few, the whole of Nagaland might be projected in a poor light by others and this has to be stopped,” it said.
The DAYO cautioned that “any individual posting any material that brings a bad reputation to the Ao community in general and DAYO in particular without considering the gravity of the materials being uploaded/shared in different social media platforms will not be looked upon kindly.”
It urged members of the DAYO and the Ao community not to indulge in any criminal activity or participate in spreading such act in these grave times and in future too. “Furthermore, we urge all members to act benevolently towards fellow humans which is the moral thing to do in the eyes of not only God but of mankind,” it added.
The DAYO further stated that should the irresponsible actions of anyone, including those responsible for forwarding such information that “endangers the lives and properties of any of our brethrens beyond our homeland be found,” they will be “answerable to the organization who will be compelled to bring their full legal capacity to bear down on such irresponsible individuals.”
