Just two days after two youths from Assam were found dead in Nagaland, the Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Mon District issued directives regarding vehicular movement to and from the district.

According to the directives issued, the DC has advised people of Mon to restrict traveling to Assam’s Sonari. The DC also appealed for the closure of all kinds of passenger vehicles from Mon district to Dimapur via Sonari.

Further, passenger vehicles have been advised to temporarily restrict traveling to Dimapur, and private vehicles restricted traveling to Sonari, the DC notice said.
