DIMAPUR, FEBRUARY 10 (MExN): Yimchungru Akheru Arih-Ako (YAA), a students’ organization, has strongly condemned what it alleged as “arbitrary shooting” of innocent public and students at Shamator sub-division on February 9.
One of the students who was grievously injured during the incident was to appear HSLC exam, informed the YAA in a press statement. It alleged that 11 persons were hit by the security personnel with rifle butt and barrels.
In this connection, it questioned the very existence of the security agencies at Shamator sub-division as whether they are to “protect the general public or to create havoc or act as goons, which is illegal and unconstitutional.”
The YAA has therefore demanded that stern disciplinary action be initiated against those erring jawans and an FIR be filed in this regard.
Meanwhile, the students’ organization expressed sadness over the untimely action of the State government and district administration in tackling the situation which it said was a direct upshot of the “Kiphire vandalism and violence.”
It alleged that the law enforcers were silent witness to the destruction wrought by the mob in Kiphire, despite the imposition of 144 CrPC.
The students’ organization has also appealed to the authority concerned to seriously look into the issue of affected students shifted to Pungro to appear for exam without any study materials.
It also asked the commission constituted by Nagaland government to probe into the February 6 killing at the earliest and without any bias.
