Dimapur, September 13 (MExN): Disturbed by the latest border incident at Naginimora where the Assam Students Union from Sibsagar district had made provocative movement and demonstrations at Naginimora town, the Nagaland Chief Minister has written to his Assam counterpart Tarun Gogoi. In his letter dated September 12, 2009, Rio expressed his concern that these actions had alarmed the students’ community of Nagaland while pointing out that if the situation is not immediately brought under control there is possibility of violent clashes in the border areas.
The Nagaland Chief Minister also reminder that the border dispute between Assam and Nagaland was under adjudication by the Supreme Court of India and the commission set up for this purpose was regularly conducting hearings on this issue. “It will be foolhardy on the part of any state to resort to violent activities and demonstrations”, Rio stated in his letter to the Assam CM while seeking the latter’s immediate intervention to see that the students’ community from Assam is properly advised and restrained from precipitating the matter.
