Diphupar Village Council (DVC), Diphupar Naga Students’ Union (DNSU) and Diphupar Naga Youth Organisation (DNYO) have condemned the killing of two persons today at around 6:10 am at L. Khel within its village. Lamenting that the factions continued to make its village a killing field and dumping ground for those killed despite earlier appeals to vacate the village, the DVC in a press statement issued by its chairman, K. Kapfo and secretary Lanutoshi said such senseless act not only endangered the life of innocent residents but also created psychosis especially among children. In a separate press statement, the DNSU and DNYO jointly condemned the firing incident within its village and appealed all factions to maintain ceasefire as the students were being deprived of regular classes due to continued factional clashes. DNSU  president, Kitoi Sumi and DNYO president, Thejangulie Suokhrie further appealed the factions to “reasonably stop killings in our society”.
