NWU Condemns Tronglaobi Bombing

NWU urged the state and central governments and concerned authorities to treat the Tronglaobi case as a top priority.

The Naga Women’s Union (NWU) has strongly condemned the killing of an innocent baby and a 5-year-old child of a mother following a bomb attack on a residence in Tronglaobi, Bishnupur District, on 7 April 2026. NWU alleged the attack was carried out by suspected Kuki armed miscreants.

Calling it a grave and inhumane crime, NWU said the incident—occurring close to a CRPF camp—has raised serious concerns and questions regarding the safety of civilians.

Grief and solidarity

NWU said it was “deeply saddened and shattered” by the deaths of defenseless children, expressing profound sorrow on behalf of the mother whose children were killed.

The union also said it stands with the bereaved family and with the mother, who reportedly sustained multiple splinter injuries and is currently undergoing treatment in the ICU. NWU prayed for her speedy recovery and wholeness, saying the organization remains committed to justice and the protection of life.

Accusation against CRPF

NWU also condemned what it described as reckless actions by CRPF, alleging that CRPF fired indiscriminately towards the public. The union claimed the action resulted in four civilians dead on the spot and more than 10 people injured.

NWU termed the alleged incident as an unacceptable act of terror against unarmed civilians, adding that responsible officers and personnel must be held accountable under the law of the land.

Calls for swift action

NWU urged the state and central governments and concerned authorities to treat the case as a top priority, saying the perpetrators must be brought to justice and stringent punishment should be awarded.

Condolences

In a message of solidarity, NWU extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved mothers and the families affected by the tragedy. The union said it stands with them in their pain and loss, offering prayers and full moral support during this difficult time.

NWU also appealed to all sections of society to reject violence in all forms and work together to ensure a safe and peaceful future for children. It further urged the government to take resolute steps to contain the conflict and ensure the safety and security of citizens.
