The Village Authority strongly condemned the August 10 attack, which it said was carried out around 12:30 pm by suspected Naga miscreants dressed in black and armed with sophisticated firearms. According to the village body, the armed men entered Kailenjang and unleashed terror among villagers before setting three houses ablaze. The Village Authority also demanded that the suspected perpetrators be identified and arrested within 24 hours, insisting that the investigation be impartial, transparent and followed by prosecution under law. “The people of Kailenjang demand justice, security and accountability—not promises after another tragedy occurs,” it said. The Village Authority urged the government, security agencies and civil administration to treat the incident as a grave security warning and act swiftly before the situation deteriorates further.
