KOHIMA: Leader of Opposition in Nagaland Assembly Tokheho Yepthomi has came down heavily on the Nagaland Government for its failure to contain the problem in its nascent stage, which he claimed has only encouraged the criminals to take crime to menacing height.

A statement issued by Mr Yepthomi here on Friday said ”No word is sufficient to condemn the spate of kidnapping of school children for ransom that have taken place during the past two months in Dimapur.

What is more condemnable is the failure of the law enforcement agencies to crack even one case, the release stated.

Stating that it has become the most dangerous threat to the life of the citizens in Dimapur affecting their daily lives, he said it has created fear psychosis, especially in the minds of the non-local communities, who are pushed to the brink.

He said the people have lost confidence in the government of the day, which is evidently clear from their refusal to report the cases to the law enforcing agencies and the incidents manifest utter intelligence and policing failures.

The community policing as proposed by the Nagaland Home Minister was nothing but to pass the buck to the community for his failure, he stated.

The Congress Legislative Party leader said there is no sense in sending the state’s forces outside the state when ”our own home is under attack”.(UNI)
