IMPHAL, Dec 5: The Zeliangrong Union (Assam, Manipur, Nagaland) has appealed to all UG groups of the Zeliangrong people, particularly operating in the Zeliangrong areas to shun violence.
The appeal was made in a press release in view of the ensuing festive season such as the “Orange Festival” which will be held in Tamenglong district, Christmas and the Happy New Year, adding that the biggest festival of Zeliangrong people, “Gaan-Ngai” is not far.
Unfortunately, some serious clashes between different factions have recently occurred resulting in bloodshed, death and injury to a number of their cadres, it said and added that the public don`t want to see such sad incidents of fratricidal killings especially during the festive season, it said.
As the previous `Chaguat Phom`, the Zeliangrong Elders` Forum of Peace Brokers, has been dissolved, the ZU-AMN is considering reconstituting a fresh “Chaguat Phom” to look after the peace situation in the Zeliangrong areas, it said.
