NC hills may again erupt in violence courtesy NSCN-IM

E
ven after the en-masse surrender of DHD(J) rebels North Cachar hills may again erupt in violence. A section Hmar people in the hills district are receving extortion notices from NSCN(IM) who have asked them to leave their places if they fail meet the demand. NSCN(IM)'s falcone eye this falls on the Hmar people who have been living in North Cachar hills over the decades. According to information available with NETV, the Naga insurgent group operating in Nagaland is serving extortion notices in the Hmar dominated areas in the hils district. The Naga insurgent further have asked the Hmar people to vacate the vilages if they fail to meet the demands. This was was Hmar Peoples' Convention Democratic spokesman Sewm Hmar told NETV. Needless to say, it is a clear indication of yet another unrest in the hills distirct after the DHD(J) rebels have joined the national mainstream. The HPC(D) leader says the extortion notices are spreading panic among the Hmar people in the distirct. He further urged the NSCN(IM) to withdraw the extortion notices. The situation may turn violent if the authorities fail to deal with these right now. It, however, remains to be seen how the government takes up it.
