Leaders of Wokha district of Nagaland declare zero tolerance on rebel’s threat

Kohima Jun 12 (UNI) The community leaderships of Wokha have decided that the government departments and their rural development agencies such as the Village Development Board (VDB) in the district shall no longer tolerate the extortion, threats and ‘summons’ of the underground groups.
The Wokha unit of the Against Corruption and Unabated Taxation (ACAUT) said in a statement that on behalf of the community leaderships the core community leaderships of Wokha town yesterday had gathered to confer on the disease of “demands,” “taxation” and ‘summons’ and threats from the armed organisations, besides the angle of ‘honesty’ of the community leaders themselves.
Following the meeting, the Wokha civil society has raised their hands to a pledge of courage and anger that, henceforth, no public or village leader shall be summoned by any underground group, Government Departments and VDB will be held responsible if they are found paying money to the undergrounds or ‘any person’ and that the public will move against any eventuality of arrest or ‘summon’ of any community or village leader.
