Members of a tribal community in Arunachal Pradesh have come out in large numbers in protest against extortion and kidnappings by the insurgent group NSCN(K-YA).
The tribal community, Wanchos, are from Arunachal Pradesh's Longding district, long affected by the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (K-YA).
Holding placards and banners inscribed with "No Extortion", "No Kidnapping" and "No More Humiliation", protesters shouted slogans against the atrocities by NSCN (K-YA). The massive protest was seen as a desperate call for help from the authorities to act against the insurgent group in the border state.
Sources said that under sustained pressure from relentless successful operations by the security forces against insurgent groups in Longding district and villagers' refusal to pay illegal house tax to armed groups, NSCN(K-YA) has been using a new strategy in recent times.
