Ukhrul, Jan 8: A memorandum issued by the Konsakhul (Konsaram) Village Authority community has upped the ante, accusing members of the Leilon Vaiphei (Kuki-Zo) village of violating longstanding principles of peaceful coexistence and has demands their eviction within 15 days.

In a strongly worded memorandum issued on January 8, 2025, the Konsaram Naga community has demanded that the Leilon Vaiphei village vacate the land within 15 days.

It warns that failure to comply will result in forced eviction, and any violence that may ensue will be the responsibility of what they described the Leilon Vaiphei (Kuki-Zo) village as “tenants.”

The memorandum alleged that a woman from the Konsaram Naga village was assaulted in broad daylight at K. Lungwiram, purportedly under the orders or instructions of individuals from the Leilon Vaiphei village on January 7 at Kangchup Geljang Sub-Division of Kangpokpi district. This incident has been described as a gross violation of trust and respect that has traditionally existed between the two groups.

The Konsaram Naga community claims that, “as landlords,” they had allowed the Leilon Vaiphei villagers to settle on their land out of humanitarian considerations. However, they accused the “tenants” of engaging in anti-social activities, targeting innocent Naga villagers, and disregarding the terms of their lease agreement, which the memorandum states has already expired.

“Leilon Vaiphei village has been living under Konsakhul (Konsaram) ancestral land for ages paying taxes, but the Leilon village stopped paying taxes,” said a Naga villager.
