The news was published under the heading ’Tense stand-off in Dimapur: NSCN-IM cadres and Assam Rifles faceoff near Patkai College’.
Clarifying about the news, a statement of NSCN-IM said today, “No wonder this incident had happened more than one decade ago and for no reason this non-existing stand-off was made to go viral”.
