Imphal, Mar 30 (NNN): Following the factional killings of the NSCN-IM in Ukhrul district of Manipur on Saturday night, resulting in the death of four cadres of Eastern Flank (NSCN-IM), the United Naga Council (UNC) and the All Naga Students’ Association, Manipur (ANSAM), while strongly condemning the incident, have called the concerned organisations to shun violence.
“Amidst the existential threat and challenges looming in our homeland, the brutal killing of four
Naga Army personnel at Hongbei village, Ukhrul district, Manipur on March 28, 2026 had
saddened and shattered the Naga people, when unity is most needed,” said the UNC. The incident, which has sent shockwaves across the community, is a stark reminder of the need to shun senseless violence amongst brethren, the UNC stated.
The UNC then “strongly condemns this heinous act of fratricidal killings” and demanded that the
Government of People’s Republic of Nagaland (GPRN) clarifies the circumstances leading to
this tragic incident and take immediate action against those responsible persons involved. “We
appeal to the authorities to ensure that justice is served swiftly by initiating a thorough investigation and clarification on the cause of the incident and also initiate stern action against the perpetrators.
The UNC then said it “stands” in solidarity with the families of the victims and extended its deepest condolences to the bereaved families.
The UNC then urged all sections of society to maintain restraint, peace and harmony, and work towards healing and reconciliation. “May God grant sanity to avert from self-destruction forthwith.
Together, let us shun violence, march in unison and support each other during these trying
times”, the UNC added.
