Kohima: The NSCN (I-M) has accused the Assam Rifles of breaching Cease Fire Ground Rules (CFGR)by setting up a makeshift outpost in Doyapur from where commuters were subjected to frisking since October 12. Both Assam Rifles and NSCN (I-M) were engaged in another stand-off on Tuesday over the allegation of the Naga outfit.
According to sources, NSCN (I-M) alleged that the 29 AR set up its outpost in Doyapur under Dimapur district for frisking vehicles and people passing through under the ‘pretext’ that NSCN (I-M) was procuring arms and ammunition.
The source also pointed out that Assam Rifles did not follow the prescribed CFGR which required either side, Assam Rifles or NSCN (I-M), to consult each other before opening any new outpost or camp.
NSCN (I-M) source said that AR claimed that as per information from the latter’s ‘reliable source’ the NSCN (I-M) was to procure arms and ammunition and use the route where Assam Rifles conducted frisking.
Refuting the claims made by the Assam Rifles, the source said it was ‘impossible’ to smuggle such consignments and added ‘everyone knew under what pretext Assam Rifles was playing their game.’
The source further said that Cease-Fire Monitoring Group (CFMG) Chairman Lt. Gen. (retd) N. K. Singh yesterday met NSCN (I-M) leaders led by Cease-Fire Monitoring Cell (CFMC) convener Kraibo Chawang at Hebron designated camp gate. After the meeting, the chairman has asked the Assam Rifles troops to withdraw from Doyapur, informed the source. (UNI)
