The Trinamool Congress too had formed a committee led by Rajya Sabha MP Sushmita Dev that was supposed to visit the Nagaland’s Mon district on Monday to meet the families of civilians but had to cancel as the Nagaland government has imposed section 144 in the affected area because of the deteriorating law and order situation.
