The Naga People's Organisation held a peaceful protest rally at the Senapati District Headquarters on October 2, 2026, to demand justice for three Naga civilians killed in a recent shooting. Participants attended the rally in traditional attire to show solidarity following the violence.
An armed attack on September 26, 2026, in Kailenjang village initially claimed two lives, while a third victim succumbed to his injuries the next day. The deceased were identified as K. Rocky Osanah, Kh. Kumar, and Ashiho Sani, with one more civilian currently undergoing medical treatment in the hospital.
The Naga People's Organisation alleged that suspected Kuki militants carried out the attack and demanded a thorough, time-bound investigation. Prior to this rally, the organization had enforced a 12-hour total shutdown in the district on September 28, 2026, which halted all business operations, traffic, and office work.
