Longleng hit & run: Public take to streets in protest

• Submits representation to govt

• Says justice unduly delayed

• Demands arrest and prosecution

• Says no to military trucks

Reeling from the tragic October 25 hit-and-run incident, the people of Longleng took to the streets demanding justice for the two victims. The public demonstration, on October 27, culminated with the Phom Peoples' Council, PhomlaHoichem, and Phom Students' Conference, submitting a joint representation to the Nagaland state government demanding the swift arrest and prosecution of the culprits responsible. It was submitted to the Deputy Commissioner, Longleng.

The organisations, while expressing “collective anguish” over the tragic incident, held that justice appeared “unduly delayed” despite the loss of two human lives under grievous circumstances. It
