The office of the All Students’ Union Tuensang Town (ASUTT) has vehemently condemned the barbaric and cold blood murder of Peter Yimchunger inside the bus which was bound for Tuensang, by the body guards of ADC (J) Mokokchung without any rhyme or reason.
The press release issued by the ASUTT, also pointed that only buses bound for Tuensang were stopped and the passengers harassed. This incident was not a stray incident as the people of Tuensang have been undergoing unnecessary hardship and harassment even when plying within the inter-state highways.
