Recalling the 1995 Quit Notice
The organization also referred to the historical background of the 1995 Quit Notice. According to the statement, the notice was issued following the reported robbery and brutal killing of two Angami men in Manipur in 1995. In response to that incident, a Quit Notice was served to Kuki residents living within Angami jurisdiction.
However, the notice was later kept in abeyance after Kuki leaders approached the Chakroma Public Organization (CPO). They assured that they would respect the authority of the landowners. A declaration was reportedly made on July 31, 1995, at Medziphema. At this event, Kuki representatives pledged to abide by Angami Naga customary laws and uphold the decisions of the Chakroma Angamis.
Warning to Maova Village Council
In light of the recent assault, the AYO emphasized that the 1995 Quit Notice was never withdrawn but only kept in abeyance. The organization stated that it could be revived if circumstances warrant such action. Also Read Updated Dimapur auto-rickshaw fares

It reiterated that land ownership rights and customary laws must be respected and upheld at all times.
The statement, issued by the Media Cell of the Angami Youth Organization, reaffirmed the body’s commitment to safeguarding the interests, dignity, and customary rights of the Angami community in Kohima district.
