SAYO president Kekhruhol Mekro said that Monday`™s action was carried out in order to send a `clear message`™ to the Mao Nagas for their failure to withdraw the police personnel of Manipur who are still camping at Kezol forest and Dziikou area.
`We have requested them to withdraw police force from the said area, but they didn`™t comply to our request. That is why we have come up with the evacuation notice,` Mekro said.
`Going by humanitarian ground, we decided to relax the vacation notice for few days after Naga Hoho intervened, but they let the police force continue to camp up there,` he reiterated.
On being asked whether they will continue with their decision, the SAYO president said that they will stick to their decision until there is a settlement.
