KOHIMA, Jun 3 : The Global Naga Forum (GNF) has sent a relief mission in support of communities devastated by the violent attacks of May 7, 2026, in Kamjong district, during which residential dwellings at Choro, Wanglee, and Namlee were reduced to ashes, resulting in mass displacement and profound suffering.
The relief consignment of food items, clothes and emergency medicines were assembled through the generous contributions of GNF members, benefactors, friends and families, along with donors from Nagaland State and abroad.
The GNF extended its deepest gratitude to every donor and collective entity whose generosity enabled this relief mission for the afflicted villages.
Led by its convenor Chuba Ozukum and co-convenor Prof Rosemary Dzuvichu, the GNF relief mission travelled with the relief materials from Kohima to Ukhrul on May 30, 2026.
The GNF relief team conveyed its deepest appreciation to former GNF co- convenor, Ram Muivah, and his wife for their hospitality in hosting the team at Ukhrul and for attending to the team’s logistical and personal needs.
The GNF held a solidarity meeting with the Tangkhul Naga Long, the Tangkhul Shanao Long, and other community leaders.
On May 31, 2026, the relief materials were transported by GNF general secretary Lakpachui Siro, along with local volunteers to Choro village in Kamjong district.
The relief materials were handed over to the village leaders gathered outside Choro Church, while the two other affected villages were informed to retrieve their respective shares of relief from Choro village.
The GNF expressed hope that the State Government would expedite compensation and rehabilitation measures.
The relief mission concluded with a resolute expression of solidarity and encouragement extended to the affected communities.
