The Imphal Naga Awami League strongly condemns the abduction of four Naga girls. Based on reports from victims, a gang of armed men abducted four Chinaga girls working at a beauty parlor in Imphal.

The same thing happened in the city of Imphal, where many beauty salons run by Naga women were threatened with payment, and some were even forced to pay thousands of demands. NPUI asks armed robbers to stop harassing Naga girls running in beautiful places of Imphal and plains to avoid clashes between Naga and non-Naga in Imphal and Manipur and encourages states government. Manipur and the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, seriously and urgently review the latest developments in the implementation of the Act and Ordinances to protect the lives and properties of innocent people and not harm our Naga girls in the future.
Therefore, Nagas engaged in various commercial activities such as shops, beauty salons, hotels, etc., big or small, face serious threats in the plains of Imphal and Manipur. This threat comes from forced sales, solicitation, taxes, gifts and other forms of financial coercion by armed criminals, which often results in theft. As a result, the security of the Naga people living in Imphal and Manipur valleys has been compromised. The Naga Imphal Association urges all to remain vigilant in the face of these dangers. The constant oppression, misery, discrimination and similar situations faced by the Nagas can be read as a warning that threatens life in the plains of Imphal and Manipur. As a result, innocent Nagas live in fear and their rights are violated in these places. In this regard, the Naga community calls on all non-Naga Community Organizations (CSOs) to provide assistance and support to promote peaceful coexistence in the future through mutual understanding and goodwill.
