The state of emergency was declared because for about the last week another Chin resistance force, the Chin National Organisation/Chin National Defence Force (CNO/CNDF), has allegedly been inspecting the phones of passers-by, demanding tolls and turning back people who cannot pay the toll at one of its checkpoints in Khawthlir Village, in the Hualngoram region, according to Hualngoram HPO/CDF.
