Suangdoh Plants 300 Jackfruit Saplings Along Guite Road (NH-102B)🌳

Lamka, June 26, 2026: Today, the people of Suangdoh Village successfully completed a landmark community initiative by planting 300 jackfruit saplings along Guite Road (NH-102B). The plantation drive began on 22 June and was completed today through the collective efforts of our villagers, working tirelessly even under the drizzle rain.

To ensure healthy growth and adequate space for the trees to mature, the saplings were planted approximately 40 feet apart. Each one has also been protected with fences made from locally available wood, bamboo strips, and jungle vines, reflecting our commitment to sustainable and eco-friendly practices.

We planted these trees with the hope that, as they mature, they will provide cool shade and delicious fruits to everyone travelling along Guite Road, which stretches for over 100 kilometres, including about 17 kilometres through Suangdoh Village land. Jackfruit was chosen because it is an "evergreen" tree with a broad, dense canopy that offers excellent shade while also producing nutritious and tasty fruits.

This initiative is our small contribution towards creating a greener, cooler, and more welcoming environment for both local residents and travellers for generations to come.

We sincerely thank the Range Officer, Singngat Range, Forest Department, for generously providing the 300 jackfruit saplings. We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to every villager whose hard work, unity, and dedication made this initiative a success.

"The best time to plant a tree was years ago. The second-best time is today." 🌱

ZSF Rejects Kuki-Zo Council, Reaffirms Zomi Identity Stand

LAMKA, June 26, 2026: The Zomi Students' Federation–General Headquarters (ZSF-GHQ) has reaffirmed its position on identity and nomenclature, stating that it does not recognize or endorse the Kuki-Zo Council (KZC) or any of its publications, activities, or terminology.

In a press release issued on Friday, ZSF-GHQ said the organisation does not accept the use of the term "Kuki-Zo" and other related terminologies such as "Kacha Naga," describing them as unacceptable. It alleged that the projection of the KZC as a body representing both Kuki and Zomi communities was an unsuccessful attempt by the organisation to portray itself as such.

The Federation also referred to Resolution No. 1 adopted by the Zomi Council (ZC) during its Annual General Assembly in 2024, which rejected the term "Kuki-Zo" as a legitimate identity. As a frontal organisation under the Zomi Council, ZSF-GHQ said it remains committed to the identity and terminology of "Zomi" and will not associate itself with organisations or terminologies that differ from the Council's stand.

The student body further stated that it would take all necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of Zomi people living in other districts. It also appealed to all concerned to ensure their protection, asserting that the Zomi community is peace-loving and not involved in the ongoing conflicts.

KZC Clarifies Chairman's Remarks on Six Naga Hostages

LAMKA, June 26, 2026: The Kuki-Zo Council (KZC) has issued an official clarification stating that remarks made by its Chairman during a press conference on June 25 regarding the killing of six Naga hostages have been misunderstood by some sections of the media and the public.

In a clarification issued by the KZC Spokesperson Ginza Vualzong on June 26, the Council said the Chairman's expression of regret was made purely on humanitarian and moral grounds and should not be interpreted as an admission of responsibility by the Kuki-Zo community.

According to the statement, the Chairman expressed sorrow and extended condolences to the bereaved families because the bodies of the six victims were recovered from areas inhabited by Kuki-Zo people. The Council emphasized that the gesture reflected Christian values, compassion, and shared human grief, and was never intended as a confession or acknowledgment that the Kuki-Zo community was responsible for the killings.

The KZC further reiterated that no political, social, or community institution representing the Kuki-Zo people had sanctioned, endorsed, or supported the killing of innocent civilians. It maintained that the perpetrators remain unknown and called for a fair, impartial, and credible investigation to establish the facts and bring those responsible to justice.

The Council also urged the authorities to ensure equal justice for all victims of the ongoing conflict, including Kuki-Zo civilians. It called for thorough investigations into the killings of civilians, destruction of villages, attacks on churches, the murder of religious leaders, and other acts of violence, stressing that lasting peace cannot be achieved through selective justice or selective security measures.
