DIMAPUR — The Global Naga Forum (GNF) has successfully executed a relief mission in support of communities devastated by attacks on May 7 in Kamjong district, Manipur, which left residential dwellings in Choro, Wanglee, and Namlee in ashes and resulted in mass displacement.
According to a press release, the relief consignment of food items, clothes, and emergency medicines was assembled through contributions of GNF members, benefactors, friends, and families, along with donors from Nagaland and abroad. The forum extended its gratitude to all donors whose generosity enabled the relief mission.
The relief team travelled with the materials from Kohima to Ukhrul on May 30. The team was led by GNF Convenor Chuba Ozukum and Co-Convenor Rosemary Dzuvichu, accompanied by members Tutu Jamir, Abel Chophy, Azo Wetsah, and Neise Casavi. The Ukhrul team was led by GNF General Secretary Lakpachui Siro.
The relief team expressed appreciation to former GNF Co-Convenor Ram Muivah and his wife for hosting the team at Ukhrul and assisting with logistical needs. During the visit, the GNF held a solidarity meeting with the Tangkhul Naga Long, the Tangkhul Shanao Long, and other community leaders.
On May 31, the relief materials were transported by Lakpachui Siro along with local volunteers to Choro village in Kamjong district. The materials were handed over to village leaders gathered outside Choro Church, while the two other affected villages were informed to retrieve their shares of relief from Choro village.
The GNF expressed hope that the state government would expedite compensation and rehabilitation measures. Reaffirming its commitment to stand in alliance with the victims, the forum concluded the mission with expressions of solidarity and encouragement to the affected communities.
