The incident that took place on 26 June 2025 at Mongkot Chepu, whereby some Kuki villagers have reportedly assaulted Ukhrul-bound winger driver and its passengers has been resolved peacefully at today’s meeting held at Litan Police Station.
The most significant undertaking was, “the Chief of Mongkot Chepu agreed to adhere to and honor the culture, custom and tradition of the land owner (Tangkhul Naga).”
An undertaking was executed in the presence of both the parties at Litan Police Station. Tangkhul leaders represented on behalf of the victims and the Kuki Village Chiefs of Litan area representing on behalf of the perpetrators.
