Itanagar, Aug 12: In an interesting turn of events, days after the failed attempt by NSCN-K(YA) insurgents to ‘infiltrate’ from Myanmar side of the border and fire towards the Assam Rifles post at Kunsa, the infuriated villagers of Kunsa village staged a massive protest in Kunsa village on Thursday.
The villagers held placards condemning the firing and lamenting the need for peace in the area. In a first, villagers burnt the effigy of Self Styled Major General Payong Konyak of NSCN- K(YA) blaming him for the incident.
The villagers of Kunsa village including women and children came out in strength and unanimously voiced their protest against the insurgents nefarious activities and expressed solidarity with the security forces.
Of late, a surge has been observed in protest by villagers of Longding and Tirap district against the atrocities of the insurgent groups, an Army press released added.
