DIMAPUR, NOVEMBER 3 (MExN): The NSCN (IM) has censured the alleged violation of ceasefire ground rules by Indian Army personnel led by one Lt. Col Mohd Zabiulla, of Signal department, Zakhama post/unit on November 2 at around 4:30 pm at Kamdi Bazaar, Jalukie sub-division, Peren district where the Council Head Quarters (CHQ) of the GPRN is situated. An MIP release stated that the sixteen (16) Indian Army personnel came in four (4) gypsies and intruded the CHQ Hebron gate to go towards Jalukie. However, they were stopped at the gate by the Naga Army personnel who were already alerted about the Indian Army personnel moving towards the CHQ Hebron. The Indian Army personnel were detained and interrogated for about half an hour. The Indian Army personnel who started their journey from Rangapahar Army camp claimed that they followed the direction given by the passersby and had no idea that they were to cross the CHQ of the GPRN, the MIP release stated. In this connection, the NSCN (IM) has questioned as to why the Lt. Col. did not coordinate with the various Indian Army units stationed in and around Dimapur. The Indian Army personnel could have taken the Sukhovi village route where the Indian Army has its training center to connect to Jalukie or taken the Niuland route which is being used by the public due to road block/landslide at NH 29 near Chumukedima, it pointed out. Terming it as a total negligence on the part of the Indian Army personnel to have reached a sensitive area such as the door step of the CHQ of the GPRN, the NSCN (IM) however stated that the Indian Army personnel were cautioned and set free in good faith after they admitted their serious mistake.
