Kohima: Civil society organizations, women’s groups, and student unions across Nagaland are calling for immediate justice following the alleged sexual assault of a minor in Dimapur. The incident, which reportedly involves suspects O. Watimeren Jamir and Tsuktimongba Ao, has sparked widespread outrage throughout the state.
The Central Nagaland Women Association (CNWA) issued a formal statement condemning the attack. President Dr. Anungla Aier and general secretary Lily Sumi urged law enforcement to take stringent action against the accused. The association stressed that sexual violence is an intolerable crime and called for the public to remain united in protecting survivors.
The Diphupar Naga Women Organisation (DNWO) also expressed deep distress over the crime. Chairwoman Khriezovonuo Zumv and general secretary Abeni Ngullie described the assault as an inhumane violation of human dignity. The organization praised the Dimapur Police for their initial response and pushed for a thorough, time-bound investigation that remains free from outside interference.
In its message to the survivor and her family, the DNWO offered support and emphasized that the community must prioritize child protection. The group called on families, churches, and civil leaders to foster a safer environment for children. Additionally, the Ethnic Group of Nagaland (EGON) joined these calls for accountability, as president D. Ledia Awomi voiced strong condemnation regarding the assault.
