Naga Rengma Hills (CAA) cautions

Dimapur, April 25 (MExN): The Naga Rengma Hills (CAA), NSCN (IM) had taken strong exception to the diminishing land, river, forests and mineral resource falling under Rengma Hills. “This is due to the failure of the Assam state government and Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC) to protect the Forest (Conservation) Act of 1980 to ensure the conservation of forest and its resources,” alleged the office of the Executive Officer, Naga Rengma Hills (CAA) of NSCN (IM). “This compelled Naga Rengma Hills (CAA) to take action against some of the timber smugglers. While doing so we have not targeted any community but focused on saving the degrading environment. Anti-social elements desperate to paint communal color are unfortunate,” it stated in a press release issued through its MIP. “Naga Rengma Hills (CAA) is determined to protect and preserve the natural resources at any cost and appeal to the people to cooperate. However, strict action will be taken against any defaulters,” it added.
