According to the residents of Oting village, joining the army was an ‘honourable job’. Now, they want the army to leave the area.

On November 25, Hokup Konyak, a 38-year-old coal miner, married Monglong Konyak. The wedding was held in the hahshahapang, or village square, in Oting in Nagaland’s Mon district. Everyone in the village attended.

Eleven days later, his funeral was held in the same village square. “He was buried just a few metres away from where we got married,” said 35-year-old Monglong.

Hokup was one of 13 civilians who was killed in army firing on December 4. Early that evening, personnel from the 21 Para Special Forces of the Army had opened fire on a vehicle carrying miners home, apparently mistaking them for militants. Six miners were killed. Hours later, as news of the killings spread, angry residents closed in on the army vehicles, killing one soldier. The army opened fire again, killing seven civilians this time.

At their home in Oting, Monglong had heard gunshots and could not reach her husband on the phone. Worried, she called neighbours in the village and learnt he had been injured. When she finally got through to him, he was already fading.

“I don’t have the strength to speak now, I’ll speak to you later,” Hokup had told her. That would be the last time they spoke.
