Kiphire | March 11
Three frontal organizations including the United Sangtam Likhum Pumji (USLP), United Sangtam Students Conference (USSC) and the Akehda Sangtamlaru Thsingmujang (AST) today held a silent protest march against the Nagaland State Government for failure to fulfill their charter of demand submitted on March 8 regarding the February 6 killing of a couple between Kiphire from Shamator. Dr Tinojungshi Chang ADC Kiphire who addressed the gathering in the DC office complex said the Nagaland government has constituted an SIT team and the case is being looked into by them. He added that since the area of incident is in Tuensang, the Kiphire district administration does not have full hand in the matter. He, however, assured that the administration would pressure the government to take necessary action. While appealing for peace in the district, the Kiphire ADC assured that the message of the three organizations would be communicated to the government. He further sought support and cooperation from the public to the government. Earlier, Justin Kahtomong, Executive Secretary of the USSC expressed concern that even after a month since the incident, the Nagaland government has failed to take any concrete action. He questioned the government’s seriousness on the issue. Kahtomong further noted that while the CM was able to visit Shamator for inauguration of the town council, he failed to show concern when the killing occured on February 6.
