Naga Students Federation (NSF) today said it has written to the Manipur Chief Secretary for safety and security of Nagas residing in that state and assured that no harm will be done to Manipuri residents in Nagaland and on failing to do so, they will intensify their agitation.
Subenthung Kithan, the president of the leading northeast students body, said he had written to Manipur chief secretary O Nabakishore for security to the Nagas yesterday and spoke to him assuring security to Manipuri residents today.
"We have assured the chief secretary that despite total blockade on movement of Manipur-bound vehicles in all Naga inhabited areas in the aftermath of continued attacks on Naga people in Manipur the Meiteis living in Nagaland are safe and no one will cause them any harm," Kithan told reporters here.
Meiteis are ethnic Manipuris.
The NSF in its letter faxed to the Manipur chief secretary yesterday seeking security and safety of Nagas in Manipur said failure to do so would compel NSF to intensify the agitation.
