Interestingly, the source added that the ZUP cadres started attacking the NSCN-IM just to make sure that they dominate the Noney area so that no organisation stands as obstacles while extorting money from the area, which they called as tax.
With the strength of ZUP cadres rising in the area people of the area expressed apprehension about factional clash between the two if non retreat. Meanwhile, security force presence in the area is silent over the matter.
