After the killing of civilians in Nagaland, several tribes decided to refrain from participating in the cultural programmes during Hornbill festival following which the state cancelled the event.
The picturesque Naga Heritage Village at Kisama, the main venue for Nagaland's iconic Hornbill festival, wore a deserted look today as the government cancelled the day's events in solidarity with the killing of civilians in Mon district.
The Hornbill festival, an annual ten-day extravaganza in which different tribes of the state showcase their traditions, began on December 1.
Thousands of tourists from across the country and abroad were participating in the festivities. Diplomats from several nations, including the US, Germany and Australia, were also taking part in the festival.
Expressing anger over the killing of civilians in Mon, six tribes under Eastern Nagaland People's Organisation (ENPO) and a few other tribes decided to refrain from participating in the cultural programmes.
