“In a civilized society, such act that undermines peaceful coexistence must be denounced by all conscientious citizens. As Noklak serves as a symbol and reflection of the Khiamniungan community, particularly in the realm of education, it is imperative that the District Administration, law enforcement agencies and relevant stakeholders ensure a safe and harmonious environment for all students and the public, regardless of their diverse backgrounds,” stated the Union.

The Union, through it media cell, has also extended its heartfelt prayers for the victim’s swift recovery and expressed deep sympathy to the victim’s family during this difficult time.
