On 14th December 2021, the Eastern Nagaland People's Organization (ENPO) has extended its support to Konyak Union on Tuesday which declared "non-cooperation" with Indian security forces in four eastern districts of Tuensang, Mon, Longleng and Kiphire following the death of 14 civilians in Oting village on 4 December 2021 in a mistaken identity security ambush.
After a joint consultation meeting of all eastern Nagaland civil societies, the ENPO, which has long been leading the one-state agitation for four districts, said it would extend non-cooperation with security forces till Until three of his demands were met;
1. Those involved in the force killings were booked.
2. Union Home Minister Amit Shah withdrew his statement in Parliament that the security forces had fired in self-defence.
3. The “draconian” Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) was repealed.
