Amid border violence Section 144 imposed in parts of Nagaland

Amid reports of violence at the border with Chumoukedima district, prohibitory orders under section 144 of the CrPC were imposed in remote parts of Nagaland’s Peren district on Monday.

The decision is taken by the district administration in view of the prevailing law and order situation in Lamhainamdi village and adjoining areas. Peren’s Deputy Commissioner Vineet Kumar imposed prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), 1973 to ensure that public peace and tranquility is maintained.

As per the official order, assembly of more than five people and carrying of any lethal weapons in the disputed Lamhainamdi village and adjoining areas are prohibited. Security personnel and medical emergency services are exempted from the purview of the order, it said.

In another advisory, Kumar highlighted that in view of the prevailing law and order situation at Jalukie Sub-Division and nearby areas, those passing via Molvom-Kiyevi-Mhainamtsi-Peren and Dimapur-Pimla-Peren should take precaution.

Dimapur’s Commissioner of Police, Rothihu Tetseo, also announced prohibitory orders along the highway from the Vihuto-Khehoyi-Kiyevi village area, and along the Chumoukedima-Peren district border.

Second coming of the Land of Christ in the offing

In 1947, when Angami Zapu Phizo raised the banner of Naga nationhood, it was based on the simple premise that the Nagas were neither under the Assamese nor Manipuri rulers and that the Britishers were the first to rule them, and by that account, when they leave the subcontinent, they should be left alone. Phizo, however, was aware that each Naga village or tribe exists as a republic of their own and that each had a different dialect and that the only visible and practical way to bring them together on a common platform was their faith in Jesus Christ.
