NSCN Refute Viral News
5th November, 2025
NSCN express indignation against the digital media platforms to sensationalize unverified news emanating from some elements spreading misinformation regarding the Yaruiwo’s order on the promotion of Major General Honreishang Shadang, MSM, MC, who was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General and designated to succeed General Anthony Ningkhan as Longvibu, Naga Army. This is the collective decision of NSCN leadership guided by the Naga Army Rules and Regulations. No unilateral decision is applied in this kind of high profile Naga Army Chief and no such thing as power struggle exists in any respect whatsoever. Concocted piece of information by certain elements should not be magnified by the digital media platforms to serve vested interests.
The order issued by Yaruiwo on the 29th October, 2025 stands as it is.
