As the incident was reported the district administration swung into action to bring the situation under control. Additional forces were sent and the situation is said to be under control now.
Notably, in March 2021, at least three persons were killed and several vehicles and fields were destroyed by miscreants along the disputed Lamhainamdi area that lies between Peren and Chumukedima.
The Dimapur-Peren border area is a disputed area that is inhabited by various Naga tribes on both sides of the border.
The Zeliangrong community in Peren district (representative of the three Naga tribes of Zeme, Liangmai and Rongmei ) and the Sumis in Dimapur, are the two major tribes.
The disputed land has been the cause of conflict between the two tribal communities, Sumi and Zeme, according to a statement released in June 2019 by the Nagaland Home Department’s Principal Secretary Abhijit Sinha.
