He further stated that there no incidence of violence has been reported from any part of Nagaland during the Lok Sabha polls as various underground groups have accepted CFMG’s request not to get involved in intimidation and violate ceasefire ground rules during the election period.
As per the ceasefire ground rules, the CFMG chairman stressed that the underground groups should refrain from forcible extortions and intimidation of individuals and government officials.
Chauhan also affirmed that after he has taken over the reins of CFMG, peace bells are ringing in the state.
