Western SümiKukami (WSK) reiterated its demand that the State government implement the latter’s July 8, 2019 order which called for eviction of a new village set up within Kiyevi village jurisdiction.
WSK through its media cell said it would stand firm on its demand and work collectively with Western Sümi Youth Front to ensure that justice was done. It also warned that in case of any untoward incident, the government will be solely held responsible as it has been left with no other choice. WSK accused the state government of trying to avoid responsibility from implementing its own orders in solving the issue, by diverting the case by inviting 14 tribes to mediate.
However, WSK said that when the invitation was turned down by 14 tribes on the ground that the land conflict was between two tribes, the government had again on October 6 invited Central Nagaland Tribes Council and Tenyimi Public Organisation towards finding an amicable solution to the issue. WSK alleged, that instead of upholding its orders, the government has been clearly shrugging of its responsibility and left the issue to be resolved by the public.
