The Central Working Committee, Tangkhul Naga Foothills Organisation has expressed its grave concern over the ongoing acts of violence perpetrated by Kuki militants operating under the Suspension of Operations (SoO) agreement.
The statement issued by the Media/Information & Publicity Cell, CWC, TNFO stated “since last night, these militants have reportedly been firing sophisticated weapons from three locationsโone along the ChassadโKamjong axis and two other positions at Shangkai and Mangkot Chepu. Disturbingly, these actions are said to have taken place in the presence of Central Forces.
“The indiscriminate firing has specifically targeted the Tangkhul Naga villages of Kamjong, Sharkaphung and Thoyee. As a result of this unprovoked aggression, two innocent civilians Ringyui Ramror (approximately 30 years old) and Raichan Lungleng (approximately 25 years old) both from Sharkaphung Tangkhul Naga Villageโhave sustained injuries to their legs and feet.
“Such acts are highly condemnable and pose a serious threat to peace, stability, and communal harmony in the region. Continued provocation by armed militants, particularly in the presence of Central Forces, raises grave concerns regarding the effectiveness and role of security mechanisms in place. It also brings into question the accountability of those responsible for maintaining law and order.”
It may be recalled that on 21 February 2026, the Tangkhul Naga Foothills Organisation had submitted a formal request to the Honโble Chief Minister, urging the upgradation of Litan Police Station to the level of Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO). The memorandum also sought the deployment of two platoons of security forces at Sinakeithei Village, as well as one platoon each of MR/IRB personnel at Hongmahn, Mapao Zingsho, and Zingtun, in order to ensure the safety and security of civilians in the region.
However, it is deeply concerning that, to date, only one platoon has been deployed at Sinakeithei Village, and no further action has been taken to address the remaining demands. This inadequate response has left several vulnerable areas exposed and continues to put the lives of innocent civilians at significant risk.
“In light of the above, the Tangkhul Naga Foothills Organisation strongly demands immediate intervention by the State Government. We further urge the prompt deployment of adequate State security forces in Thoyee and Sharkaphung villages to ensure the safety and protection of civilians and to restore normalcy in the affected areas” added the press release issued by Media/Information & Publicity Cell, CWC, TNFO.
