Remains of Six Abducted Naga Men in Manipur to Be Laid to Rest on November 16
The remains of six Naga men, including two pastors, abducted in Manipur's Kangpokpi district in May and recovered in June, will be handed over to their families on November 16 for funeral rites at Naga Martyrs' Park. The decision follows a September 26 agreement involving the United Naga Council, Joint Tribe Council, Manipur government, and the Indian government. The victims were reportedly abducted by suspected Kuki militants and found severely mutilated. Authorities, including the National Investigation Agency, are involved in the case. The Joint Tribe Council has called for community solidarity during the memorial.
