Vehicular movement to other parts of the state and Manipur suffered as the strike continued. (Source: Google map)
A 12-hour general strike on Tuesday called by traders in Dimapur town in protest against the death of one person in a bomb blast badly hit vehicular communication with the rest of Nagaland as also Imphal, capital of neighbouring Manipur. “There have been no untoward incidents so far,” police said.
The traders resorted to the strike after miscreants threw a bomb at a chemists’ shop in Dimapur, the largest city and commercial hub of Nagaland, leaving one person dead and four others injured on Monday evening. Normal life in Dimapur, 74 km from here, was thrown out of gear due to the strike that began from 6 a.m.
Vehicular movement to other parts of the state and Manipur suffered as National Highway 2, that connects Kohima, Imphal and the Myanmar border at Moreh, passes through this commercial town. Hundreds of vehicles coming from and going to Imphal were stranded in view of the strike. Several dozens of inter-state buses along with passengers were stranded beyond the strike-bound areas.
Meanwhile, Nagaland Home Minister Y. Patton has promised to smoke out the “miscreants” and bring them to justice. “The bomb blast is condemnable since all sections of the people in Nagaland are yearning for peace,” he said.
Police and eye-witnesses said two miscreants travelling in a car fled after hurling the bomb inside the chemist’s shop on Nyamo Lotha Road around 7.15 p.m. on Monday. “Five persons, including two customers, were wounded in the blast. One of the injured customers, Abdul Basit, died around 10 p.m. in hospital. One injured person is also battling for his life, while three others sustained minor injuries,” a high-ranking police officer said.
Nidhu Biswas, the pharmacy owner, denied having received any extortion threat from any underground organisation. However, the police officer said: “We are not ruling out anything for the time being.” An FIR has been registered and investigation is on. So far no outfit has made any claim about the blast.
There have been complaints for long about militants and common criminals extorting illegal taxes from the traders in Dimapur. The traders had formed an organisation to resist the extortion. However, it was not much successful.

A Hemi Naga from Myanmar, he led the rebels for decades
S.S. Khaplang, chief of National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K), died on Friday after a prolonged illness at the outfit’s camp at Taga in Myanmar, a senior government official said. he was 77
Khaplang, a Hemi Naga from Myanmar led the Naga insurgency movement for decades. He formed his own outfit in 1988 after he fell out with Isak Chisi Swu and Thuingaleng Muivah, the other two Naga leaders, who went on to form the NSCN-IM, which signed a framework agreement with the government in 2015 to find a permanent solution to the issue.
Mr. Swu died of illness last year in Delhi.
Naga outfits envisage a “Greater Nagalim” or a contiguous land for the Nagas spanning the States of Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Myanmar.
“S.S Khaplang died around 7 p.m. on Friday at the outfit’s camp in Taga,” R.N Ravi, joint intelligence committee (JIC) chief and the interlocutor for Naga peace talks told The Hindu.
BJP national general secretary Ram Madhav, posting on Twitter about Khaplang’s death, said the leadership would be taken over by Khango Konyak. Mr. Konyak was elected Vice-chairman of the outfit in 2011 and Mr. Khaplang had issued a statement saying that “Konyak stood steadfast for the rights of the Naga people through thick and thin.”
In 2015, the NDA government banned the outfit for five years for its alleged involvement in a series of attacks on security forces, including an army convoy on June 4 in Manipur’s Chandel district killing 18 army men. NIA even declared a reward of ₹17 lakh for Khaplang’s arrest.
India has on multiple occasions asked Myanmar to hand over four top leaders of NSCN-K, including Khaplang.
NSCN-K abrogated the ceasefire with the government in March 2015 and following the Army convoy attack the same year, a special team of Army launched an attack on the insurgent camps of various militant outfits, 20 kms within Myanmar on June 9 where they are believed to have killed at least 20 militants.
Besides Khaplang, India sought the custody of the outfit’s military commander Niki Sumi, Kirichu and Asang, who were believed to have planned and supervised the attack in Manipur's Chandel district.
NSCN-K is in a ceasefire pact with the Myanmar government. Khaplang, a Naga from Myanmar, was undergoing treatment at a hospital in Yangon and he was later moved to the Taga, considered to be a hotbed of anti-India insurgent group camps in northwestern Myanmar.

Union minister Kiren Rijiju said on Saturday most of the demands of the pro-talk faction of the ULFA are “worth considering” and a final solution is expected “very soon“.
“The peace talk with the Arabinda Rajkhowa faction of the ULFA is going on very well and with confidence. We genuinely feel that maximum demands by the pro-talk Arabinda Rajkhowa faction are worth considering,” the minister of state for home affairs told reporters here.
He, however declined to comment on details, but said “I can only say that we are giving a serious consideration to their demands for a final solution very soon“.
When asked about when the solution can be expected, he said “we cannot give any time line.
Asked specifically whether the ULFA’s prime demand for sovereignty of Assam is negotiated during the talks, Rijiju said “there is no question of sovereignty at all. If sovereignty, there cannot be any talk. The talk is within the framework of the Indian Constitution“.
“I am not even mandated to speak anything which is beyond the Indian Constitution,” he said.

The group has been banned for attacks on security forces
Nagaland Home Minister Yanthungo Patton said he would request the Centre to sign a ceasefire agreement with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K), banned by the Home Ministry for attacks against security forces.
NSCN-K patriarch S.S. Khaplang died earlier this month in Myanmar and it was under him that the outfit unilaterally abrogated ceasefire in March 2015, leading to multiple violent incidents, including the attack on an Army convoy on June 4 in Manipur’s Chandel district where 18 Army men were killed.
Mr. Patton told The Hindu on phone that they (Nagaland government) contacted Mr. Khaplang in the “last part of 2015” to convince him to come for talks.
“We contacted the NSCN-K earlier also, around one-and-a-half-years back, but the agreement could not get through. We were in touch with Khaplang, but since he is no more, we need to start afresh. We are in touch with the new leadership in Myanmar,” said Mr. Patton.
The ruling Nagaland People’s Front (NPF) party in the State is an ally of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The government signed a framework agreement with another Naga group, the NSCN-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) in August 2015 to look for a solution to the decades-old Naga insurgency.
‘They are with us’
Asked whether the proposal would impact the Centre’s agreement with the NSCN-IM, Mr. Patton said, “They are with us. The NSCN-IM also wants all Naga factions together and they would welcome the move once the NSCN-K joins the peace talks.”
The NSCN-K operates from camps in neighbouring Myanmar and India has on several occasions asked the Myanmar government to take action against the insurgent groups there.
“We understand that the Centre has banned them for five years. In the past also, we have shared our desire to initiate dialogue with the NSCN-K but after Mr. Khaplang’s death, we would re-initiate the process with Home Minister Rajnath Singh,” he said.
Mr. Khaplang (77), a Hemi Naga from Myanmar, formed his own outfit in 1988 after he fell out with Isak Chisi Swu and Thuingaleng Muivah, the other two Naga leaders who went on to form the NSCN-IM. NIA had declared a reward of ₹5 lakh for his arrest. Mr. Swu died of illness last year in Delhi.
Naga outfits envisage a “Greater Nagalim” or a contiguous land for the Nagas covering the States of Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Myanmar.
On June 12, Mr. Rajnath Singh constituted a panel to examine various methods to curb the misuse of free movement along the Myanmar border and said that “it was being misused by militants and trans-border criminals who occasionally entered India, committed crimes and escaped to their relatively safer hideouts”.
India and Myanmar share an unfenced border of 1,643 km adjoining Arunachal Pradesh (520 km), Nagaland (215 km), Manipur (398 km) and Mizoram (510 km) and permit a ‘free movement’ regime up to 16 km across the border. Mr. Patton said he had opposed the move by the Centre to curb movement of people along the Myanmar border as it would impact the local ethos and culture of the Naga community.
The group has been banned for attacks on security forces
Nagaland Home Minister Yanthungo Patton said he would request the Centre to sign a ceasefire agreement with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K), banned by the Home Ministry for attacks against security forces.
NSCN-K patriarch S.S. Khaplang died earlier this month in Myanmar and it was under him that the outfit unilaterally abrogated ceasefire in March 2015, leading to multiple violent incidents, including the attack on an Army convoy on June 4 in Manipur’s Chandel district where 18 Army men were killed.
Mr. Patton told The Hindu on phone that they (Nagaland government) contacted Mr. Khaplang in the “last part of 2015” to convince him to come for talks.
“We contacted the NSCN-K earlier also, around one-and-a-half-years back, but the agreement could not get through. We were in touch with Khaplang, but since he is no more, we need to start afresh. We are in touch with the new leadership in Myanmar,” said Mr. Patton.

One Assam Rifles jawan was killed and three others were injured in a militant attack on Friday in Manipur’s Ukhrul district.
According to informed sources, the attack took place at 4 am in Shangshad area.
No weapons were, however, snatched in the attack, they said.
Reinforcements were rushed for combing operations. But sources fear that the militants have already escaped to their camps across the border.

Nagaland declared as ‘disturbed area’ under AFSPA for 6 more months
"Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by Section 3 of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958, the central government hereby declares that whole of the said state to be a 'disturbed area' for a period of six months with effect from 30th June, 2017 for the purpose of that Act," Satyendra Garg said
Entire Nagaland has been declared as “disturbed area” for six more months under the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, which empowers security forces to conduct operations anywhere without any prior notice. In a gazette notification, the home ministry said it is of the opinion that the area comprising the whole of Nagaland is in such a “disturbed and dangerous condition” that the use of armed forces in aid of the civil power is necessary.
“Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by Section 3 of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958, the central government hereby declares that whole of the said state to be a ‘disturbed area’ for a period of six months with effect from 30th June, 2017 for the purpose of that Act,” joint secretary in the home ministry Satyendra Garg said.
Official sources said killings, loot and extortion have been going in various parts of Nagaland leading to the extension of the “disturbed area” in the northeastern state for six more months beginning June 30 under the AFSPA. There have been demands from various organisations in the Northeast as well as in Jammu and Kashmir for repealing the controversial AFSPA, which, they say, gives “sweeping powers” to the security forces to act against “civilians”.
The AFSPA has been in force in Nagaland for several decades. It has not been withdrawn even after a framework agreement was signed on August 3, 2015 by Naga insurgent group NSCN-IM general secretary Thuingaleng Muivah and the government’s interlocutor R N Ravi in presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The framework agreement came after over 80 rounds of negotiations spanning 18 years with the first breakthrough in 1997 when the ceasefire agreement was sealed after decades of insurgency in Nagaland.
