Just nearby lie the camps of an Assam Rifles (AR) company and some miles away from the village, on a hill, there is a pillar, indicating the international border and ‘154 BP 1971-72’ is inscribed on it. The local tribe Konyaks had been the headhunters, and collectors of enemy skulls. The core people of the tribe still have brass skull necklaces at home that are symbols showing that they have taken these heads during the battle. The basic belief behind this was that head hunting can boost crop fertility. However, the rise of Christianity in the region completely stopped this tradition of headhunting in the 1960s. This village is a key zone to get opium in Nagaland.
