NSCW condemns Feb 6 incident

Dimapur, February 22 (MExN): The Nagaland State Commission for Women (NSCW) has strongly condemned the brutal and inhuman murder of a helpless woman and her innocent husband on February 6, near Yayi Bridge.  

While condemning the incident, NSCW Chairperson, Dr. Temsula Ao said that the perpetrators of this heinous crime must be apprehended without further delay and the maximum punishment under the law should be meted out to them.   The Commission added that the aftermath of this incident is equally condemnable because the victims on both sides are under tremendous duress both physically and mentally. “Unless peace is restored soon in the affected areas the hostilities may spread to other areas also. Different Naga communities have lived amicably for centuries with respect for each other’s cultures & traditions,” it added.   Therefore, NSCW appeal to all right thinking and peace loving Nagas to “come together to help the effected people to find it in their hearts to forgive each other and desist from following the path of revenge for the greater good of all Naga people.”
