Locals take out a mass protest rally at Tizit near the border with Assam
Civil society organisations in Nagaland’s Mon district have asked the Centre to apologise for the killing of 14 civilians on December 4 and repeal the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act of 1958.
Led by the Konyak Union, the apex body of the district’s dominant Konyak Naga community, hundreds took out a protest rally at Mon’s Tizit and slammed the Centre for not apologising for the killings by the armed forces in a botched ambush.
The protesters demanded justice for the family members of the victims and vowed not to remain silent till the guilty soldiers are punished.
