The minority wing of the NPF issued a note on Monday calling for peace particularly from the non-Naga Indian community members in the district. The unit expressed regret that the unfortunate incident had tarnished the state of Nagaland and her people nationally.The NPF’s minority wing has appreciated “the performance of Dimapur district administration to bring the unwanted situation of Dimapur city under control.” However, the unit appealed for calm and restraint from the non-Naga Indian community.
“Minority wing appeals to its community people to cooperate with the administration and restrain themselves from any untoward activity that would jeopardize the overall effort to sustain peaceful environment in the state”, the note from the political unit of the regional party stated on March 9.
