Nagaland (Insurgency North East): Timeline (Terrorist Activities) -2022

On January 10, over 100 people from different walks of life set out on a two-day march on foot from Dimapur to Kohima of Nagaland, covering 70 kms distance against Armed Force (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA), reports The Sangai Express. The walkathon began at the Super Market area of Dimapur with volunteers and participants holding placards, demanding the repeal of AFSPA and justice for the victims who were killed by security forces in Mon district on December 4, 2021. The participants also observed a minute silence in the honour of the victims of the Mon incident. According to Rukewezo Wetsah, one of the coordinators of the walkathon, the foot march ‘was a peaceful, silent and democratic measure to convey the resentment of the people over AFSPA’. Earlier on January 9, Dimapur deputy commissioner Rajesh Soundararajan granted permission to hold the march on the condition that the participants would adhere to all Covid-19 SOPs and protocols.
