At a time when the government of Assam has adopted zero tolerance deportment against any kind of extremist conduct, a worrying incident has taken place in Karbi Anglong district.

Kuki National Assembly, the apex civil organization of Kuki community of Karbi Anglong has informed that recently people belonging to Kuki community domiciled in Jawllen village located in the heights of Singhason hill range have run away from their parish anticipating an imminent attack from insurgent organization ‘United People’s Revolutionary Front’.

Kuki National Assembly has stated that the United People’s Revolutionary Front, the ultra outfit, has demanded a ransom of INR 20 lakh from them. 

The Kuki civil organization has supposed that two UPRF (M) cadres were liquefied in that village in an encounter with security forces on June 20.

Through a press release, Kuki National Assembly, Karbi Anglong has mentioned that the village dwellers of Lawllen community have already abandoned their village and have taken refuge in and around Manja town in close proximity to Manja police station located around sixteen kilometres from Diphu town.

After the sudden uprising of extremist commotion in that area, the Kuki National Assembly has sought the safety of the displaced people from the district administration. The civil body has given a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner of Karbi Anglong on this issue seeking security for the expatriated Kuki people.

The Kuki body has also requested the local administration to secure the places where the villagers have taken refuge awaiting return to normalcy.  

The KNA has insisted on the administration provide security for the threatened people so that they can complete their farming during this season of cultivation.
