Kuki-Zo Council Calls for Central Forces in Manipur’s Kamjong After Security Failures

The Kuki-Zo Council issued a statement on Thursday, demanding the presence of central forces in Kamjong district, Manipur. The group cited repeated incidents of violence and a perceived lack of protection from state and local police as the main reasons for its appeal. It accused the government of neglecting civilian safety amid escalating tensions between ethnic communities. The council’s call for central troops comes as the region has seen sporadic clashes and a growing sense of insecurity among residents.
