Kohima:  Spokesperson of Nagaland Government and Minister for Power & Parliamentary Affairs, K.G. Kenye through a press release has stated that the State Government has taken notice about the death threats and capital punishment issued to K. Rűlho, proprietor of M/S KKB Rűlho by NSCN(Khango).

He informed that an FIR was promptly registered against the NSCN (Khango) and its functionaries under appropriate sections of law for this crime. He said that the State Government had previously made clear in response to the “shutter- down” initiated by the business community of Nagaland in April 2024 that any acts of threat or coercion, whether by factions in ceasefire or otherwise, are criminal offenses and will be dealt with according to the law. The State Government reiterates the same and will ensure peace and tranquility in Nagaland which is essential for economic development and prosperity, he added.

Kenye added that the State Government has also taken up the matter with the Chairman of the Ceasefire Monitoring Group/Ceasefire Supervisory Board to ensure that the NSCN (Khango) faction and other groups adhere strictly to the ground rules of the ceasefire.
