Kohima, March 31: At least four individuals were injured after a clash erupted between villagers from two bordering districts of Nagaland on Monday.
Nagaland Deputy chief minister Yanthunga Patton appealed to the people in Kiphire and Meluri district to maintain peace and harmony.
Taking to X, Patton said, “Deeply disturbed by the recent reports of violence, reportedly among few villages under Kiphire and Meluri districts. Such incidents not only disrupt peace but also harm the bonds that hold our communities together.”
“The situation is under control now, I urge all parties to maintain calm and work towards restoring harmony. Dialogue and understanding must prevail over conflict,” Patton said.
