A candlelight vigil was held on the evening of 17 January at the Wall of Remembrance, Tuibuong, to pay tribute to Nengtinlhing Haokip, a 20-year-old woman who was allegedly sexually assaulted by members of the Arambai Tenggol on 15 May 2023 and later succumbed to her injuries on 10 January 2026.
In her honour, the Indigenous Tribal Leaders Forum (ITLF) organised the vigil on Saturday, 17 January 2026, at 5:00 pm at the Wall of Remembrance.
The peaceful gathering brought together community members, civil society representatives, and volunteers, who observed moments of silence and offered prayers to honour the victim and other lives lost.
Participants lit candles as a symbol of remembrance, hope, and unity, while collectively calling for peace, justice, and an end to violence. Organisers stated that the vigil aimed to highlight the suffering of innocent civilians and to promote harmony and reconciliation among communities. The event concluded with a unified appeal for stability, compassion, and lasting peace in the region.
