Indian Army has instituted a Court of Inquiry to investigate the Nagaland civilian killings under a Major General-rank officer, news agency ANI reported while quoting Army sources. The officer is posted in the northeast sector only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least 14 civilians and a soldier were killed in an anti-insurgency operation and violence over the weekend in Mon district of Nagaland, as per police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio said that the Centre has given an ex-gratia amount of Rs 11 lakh each and the state government has given Rs 5 lakh each to the families of those deceased. The CM said that he has spoken to Union Home Minister Amit Shah and that he is taking the matter very seriously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also requested  the Centre to remove the Armed Forces Act from the state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have given financial assistance to affected families. We are asking the Central government to remove AFSPA from Nagaland. This law has blackened the image of our country,” he told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFSPA confers special powers on the armed forces in areas deemed as disturbed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
