The surrender was in three phases. On September 27, 2020, Nyemlang Konyak joined the NSCN (R) as a part of the NNPGs.Nikki Sumi surrendered on December 19, 2020, with two individuals without weapons. Finally on December 25, as a follow-up, Starson Lamkang, along with 52 other cadres, surrendered in Phek district of Nagaland.

NSCN (K-YA) is the only Naga faction which has not observed a ceasefire with the security forces and is not part of the ongoing peace talks. In year 2015, NSCN (K-YA),  led by Khaplang, abrogated the ceasefire with the Centre. The group since then has carried out a series of subversive activities besides extortion and recruitment of new cadres in the Northeast.
