Later, he was also briefed by the high ranking police personnel at the office of Dimapur Superintendent of Police of the measures they had taken to contain the law and order situation in the wake of the March 5 incident at Dimapur.<\/span><\/div>\n
Later addressing the press conference at the Conference Hall of the DC Office, Dimapur, Patton described as \u201cunfortunate\u201d the incident that had taken place on March 5 at Dimapur. He also disclosed that the rape allegedly committed on a Naga girl on February 23 last was confirmed prima facie as per the preliminary medical report. He, however, explained they should wait the final report from the \u201cOne-Man judicial Inquiry\u201d which has already been constituted. So, he requested the press to wait till such time the finding of the Inquiry committee is submitted.<\/span><\/div>\n
The Minister also announced during the press conference that ex-gratia of Rs 1 lakh would be given to next kith and kin of the one who lost his life in the unfortunate March 5 agitations at Dimapur. He also announced that Rs 50000 would also be given to those who received injuries during the agitations on March 5.<\/span><\/div>\n
When asked whether the ex-gratia would also be given to the deceased alleged rapist, the Minister said, \u201cWe will examine on the finding of the Inquiry Committee.\u201d \u201cRight now, we can\u2019t give,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/div>\n
When asked about the fate of Nagas living outside the state, the minister said that the state Chief Minister was keeping in touch with his counterparts to see that proper security measures for the Naga living in all over the country have been given.<\/span><\/div>\n
He also announced that the CrPC 144 which has been relaxed in Dimapur from 6 Am to 12 Noon on March 9 would be further relaxed tomorrow<\/span><\/span> in a phase manner from 6 AM to 4 PM<\/span><\/span> so that schools, shops and business establishments remain opened. However, at the same time, the District Administration will also have a security review meeting to assess the prevailing situation and take necessary steps leaving nothing to chance.<\/span><\/div>\n
Patton regretted that the Government had to take steps to block for SMS and Whatapps services in Nagaland for 48 hours. He informed that the people of the state should bear with the inconveniences for this and further informed that the blocking of the SMS and Whatapps services has already been extended for another 48 hours beginning from 6 PM on 9th<\/sup> March keeping in mind in the larger interest of the people.<\/span><\/div>\n
