2 Naga civilians killed by unknown armed individuals in Manipur: Police
The incident occurred just a day after four Tangkhul Naga civilians were killed at Pilong village of Kamjong district
Two Naga civilians met their demise in Kailenjang village of Manipur's Senapati district on Saturday, just a day after four Tangkhul Naga were killed at Kamjong district near the Indo-Myanmar border. The victims, identified as Rocky and Kumar, hailing from Mao Chaowainamai and Poumai Laii Shirafii villages within Senapati district, were killed by unidentified armed individuals around 2:45 PM.
This incident unfolded shortly after the United Naga Council (UNC) announced the lifting of an indefinite economic blockade on national highways in Manipur, effective at 6 PM on September 26, following a tripartite agreement involving the Government of Manipur, the Government of India, and UNC. UNC president NG Lorho disclosed the suspension of the blockade in a statement, expressing gratitude for the solidarity shown during the agitation.
The UNC had imposed the blockade on May 17, demanding the state government's fulfillment of conditions concerning the recovery of six abducted Naga civilians who were found mutilated and the removal of a deputy chief minister from her position.
