Dimapur, March 7 (MExN): Taking serious note of the harried public owing to the two NSCN groups clashing frequently in Satakha, the Sumi civil society visited the town and appealed to the factional leaders to keep the interest of the people in priority.
The Sumi Hoho, Sumi Kukami Hoho, CCFZ and Zunheboto Town councilors appealed to the factions to create a peaceful atmosphere in the interest of the people. “…it is the basic way of bringing reconciliation and understanding among the different groups if they really meant to keep up their given commitment” stated the Sumi Hoho in a note appended by its Vice President Kakihe H Yeptho and General Secretary Aheto V Yepthomi.
The team also urged the state government to uphold its responsibility in safeguarding the lives of its citizens during situations “not only giving responsibility to the particular leaders and officers.”
The Sumi civil society further reminded the factions’ leaders to concede to the reasonable appeal made by the affected public to do away with factional confrontations, especially in public-habited areas.
The efforts of Satakha leaders and public, Peace Monitoring Cell, state and district functionaries to rein in the situation, was also appreciated.
