DIMAPUR, APRIL 18 (MExN): The Kuki Movement for Human Rights (KMHR), in an open letter to the Union Minister (Home) today, made an appeal stating “Please save hundreds of human lives of Molvom and Bungsang village from the NSCN (IM) and NSCN (K) factional battle”. The open letter issued by the Chairman of the KMHR, Dr. T. Lunkim, stated that the two Naga factions had been fighting in the Kuki inhabited villages since the last few years including the recent ones in Bungsang and Serima Kuki village on April 11 and 16 respectively resulting in the wounding of two civilians and razing of seven houses. Citing news reports of large number of cadres from both the faction in Serima and Molvom and Bungsang villages in full preparation for a showdown, the letter added that the Indian Army were silent on the matter and some of the villagers had fled while others were detained as hostages.
In the light of such a tense situation, the KMHR appealed to the Central Government looking after Home Ministry, to immediately intervene to save hundreds or even thousands of innocent lives, and the house buildings along with properties of the two villages.
