Dimapur, July 15 (EMN): A Peace Convention was organised by the Sajik Battalion under the aegis of IGAR (South) on July 13 stated a press statement from the Inspector General Assam Rifles (South). The event witnessed enthusiastic participation by various intellectual think tanks of the Kana valley. Various issues of peace, development and prosperity for the area were discussed.
The representatives from almost 20 villages highlighted their daily challenges and expressed their concern on lack of development due to geographical isolation of the area and the insurgent activities. The bold message to the valley based insurgent groups active in the area is loud and clear.
The population needs peace and prosperity and not bloodshed. During the course of the discussion the members of the village churches urged the misguided youth to shun the path of violence and return to the main stream to become useful members in nation building.
The close coordination between Assam Rifles and the locals is adding momentum towards common goal of achieving long lasting peace in Sajik valley. A total of 49 representatives from different villages attended the convention added the press statement.
