Imphal: Meghalaya Chief Minister and National People's Party president Conrad K. Sangma has issued a strong condemnation following the discovery of six Naga civilians who were killed after being abducted in Manipur. The victims were taken by armed groups from Leilon Vaiphei village in the Kangpokpi district on May 13.
Manipur Police located the bodies after an extensive day-long search operation involving 450 personnel from the state police, the Central Reserve Police Force, and the Assam Rifles. The search included assistance from forensic experts and sniffer dogs. Police stated the recovered remains are believed to be the hostages abducted last month.
Expressing his outrage over the violence, Sangma noted that the attack occurred despite recent attempts by the United Naga Council to promote reconciliation and dialogue. He described the incident as a failure of trust, stating, "I strongly and unequivocally condemn the brutal killing of six Naga civilians. This senseless act of violence is deeply disturbing and wholly unacceptable."
The Chief Minister urged all parties to practice restraint and prioritize legal action against the perpetrators. He emphasized that lasting regional stability requires a firm commitment to peaceful resolution rather than ongoing cycles of violence. This discovery follows the recent release of 14 Kuki individuals in Senapati district, further highlighting the volatile security environment currently affecting Manipur.
