Centre must restore rule of law: Nagaland Cong

Kohima, May 15: The Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has urged Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil to see that the 'rule of law' in Nagaland is restored.

In a memorandum submitted to Mr Patil yesterday, NPCC president Hokheto Sumi reminded that the people of Nagaland were suffering due to frequent inter-factional clashes of underground groups.

They also alleged that the state government was unable to provide any adequate security to the people.

Pointing out that the situation is going beyond control where killing, kidnapping, extortion and intimidation has become a daily affair, the NPCC was of the view that if the situation continued in this manner, the people will lose faith in the government.
