In the intervening night of April 30 and May 1, as agreed upon at the Ceasefire Monitoring Group level (CFMG), National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) militants vacated the camp near Sihai Khunou village in Ukhrul District of Manipur, reports Morung Express. The intervention of Naga civil society led to an eventual agreement at the level of the CFMG/CFM Cell (CFMC) that both the sides will back off simultaneously. Assam Rifles (AR) stayed back to enter the vacant camp on April 30. They are said to have combed the camp as well as the surrounding area. Nagaland post further adds that Defence Public Relations Officer (PRO) stated that matter was resolved by security forces at the appropriate level. The PRO stated that setting up of the ‘unauthorised camp in gross violation” of ceasefire ground rules and against the spirit of ongoing ceasefire agreement had resulted in great inconvenience to locals residing in the adjacent areas. The tense stand-off between troops of Assam Rifles (AR) and NSCN (I-M) cadres began in the area following the former’s objection to setting up of the camp at Sihai village.
