This is the second ultimatum handed down by the Konyak bodies; a 30-day period expired January 10, after which tribal bodies adopted new resolutions on January 14
Civil groups in Nagaland have given the government a 10-day extension to a December ultimatum as they battle for justice for 14 civilians killed during a botched Army op in the northeastern state.
An umbrella body of several Konyak tribal unions, including the Konyak Union, the Konyak Nyupuh Sheko Khong, and the Konyak Students' Union - met Friday and condemned delays in the release of a report by Nagaland Police's SIT, or Special Investigation Team.
The groups said their 'total non-cooperation' movement aimed at the Army, which was announced December 14, would continue until justice is delivered.
"The 30-day ultimatum will be extended for 10 days with effect from January 15, failing which the tribe will abstain from all national events within its customary jurisdiction, as endorsed by the Eastern Nagaland People's Organisation," a statement from the groups said.
