PRESS RELEASE
URGENT APPEAL TO FOOTHILLS NAGA COORDINATION COMMITTEE, (FNCC) TO LIFT INDEFINITE BANDH
Lamka, Songpi District, July 20, 2025
The Kuki Human Rights Council (KHRC) respectfully yet urgently appeals to the Foothills Naga Coordination Committee (FNCC) to forthwith lift the indefinite bandh currently affecting the Kuki community in Manipur. This bandh has precipitated a severe humanitarian crisis, restricting movement and access to essential goods and services, thereby exacerbating the plight of the affected population.
The KHRC unequivocally condemns the bandh as unconstitutional and inhumane, emphasizing its detrimental impact on the Kuki community's access to basic necessities. We stress that such actions only serve to further strain community relations and hinder efforts towards a peaceful resolution.
In light of the shared heritage and common bond between the Naga and Kuki communities, particularly in their predominantly Christian faith, the KHRC advocates for peaceful dialogue as the most efficacious means to address grievances and resolve conflicts. The ongoing ethnic violence between the Meitei and Kuki communities has resulted in significant loss of life, destruction of property, and displacement of individuals.
The KHRC underscores the imperative need for a peaceful resolution and constructive dialogue to mitigate the ongoing challenges and tensions. We welcome and support ongoing initiatives aimed at mediating peace talks between the Kuki and Meitei communities and urge all stakeholders to collaborate towards a lasting solution.
Given the volatile situation in Manipur, the KHRC emphasizes the critical importance of ensuring the rights and dignity of the Kuki community. We respectfully yet firmly appeal to the FNCC to lift the bandh and engage in meaningful dialogue to address grievances.
