Naga Students' Association Condemns Killing of Six Men in Manipur

Guwahati: The Naga Students' Association in Haflong, Assam, has issued a sharp condemnation following the killing of six Zeliangrong Naga men in Manipur. Representing the college unit in the Dima Hasao district, the group described the violence as a barbaric act that violates the core principles of justice and human dignity.

The six victims, who resided in Konsakhul village in Manipur's Kangpokpi district, reportedly included local villagers and church leaders. In a statement released by its Information and Publicity Cell, the association expressed deep sorrow for the victims and extended its condolences to the families left behind. The group emphasized that the Naga community in Assam stands in solidarity with the Zeliangrong people during this mourning period.

The association stressed that violence is never an acceptable solution to grievances, arguing that such acts only foster fear and hinder peaceful coexistence. According to the group, "no conflict or grievance can ever justify the taking of innocent lives."

Officials from the association are now calling for a thorough and impartial investigation into the matter. They urged authorities to identify those responsible and ensure they face legal consequences. Beyond pursuing justice for this specific incident, the student body requested that the government implement stronger measures to prevent further acts of violence in the region.
