- DIMAPUR — The NSCN/GPRN (Yung Aung) has issued a
statement warning individuals and businesses in Nagaland against dealing with a
person identified as Ithomong Rengma, who is allegedly collecting money by
falsely claiming affiliation with the organisation.
- In the statement, the group stated that Ithomong has been
collecting large sums of money in the name of NSCN/GPRN, creating confusion and
tarnishing the organisation's good reputation.
- “He has even gone to the extent of claiming himself as the finance
secretary of the NSCN/GPRN, which is absolutely absurd, as the Nagaland state
finance is directly handled by the NSCN/GPRN's Central Finance Committee,” it
read, adding that to clarify, there is no national worker by the name of
Ithomong Rengma within the ranks of the NSCN/GPRN, and at no point has the
NSCN/GPRN authorised Ithomong Rengma to collect on behalf of the government.

strongly cautioned him to immediately cease all illegal activities or face
stern action.
- Further, all departments and business establishments in
Nagaland have been informed not to deal with Ithomong or any unauthorised
person(s) for any financial matters related to NSCN/GPRN, as doing so will be
at their own risk.
