“Several criminal elements took advantage of the unfortunate situation and rustled cattle as well as other valuables. “

He added that “ Immediately we got the news of the clash, we reported the incident to security operatives who moved swiftly to the affected community to restore law and order.

“I just returned from the affected community and the situation is under control, but for now, we cannot ascertain the number of persons killed in the clash.

“I am also in touch with the Transition Committee chairman of Langtang North local government council, Hon Nanmwa Kumzhi and we would be holding critical stakeholders meeting soon as this clash is between brothers.”

Hon Daniel Kungmi urged residents of the area to be calm and called on the people to be more tolerant and cautious of undesirable elements that might want to take advantage of the unfortunate situation to inflict harm on innocent persons.
