Lamka, July 23, 2025: The Zomi Council and its frontal organizations greeted the visiting Chief Secretary, Dr. Puneet Kumar Goel, IAS and the Commissioner (Home), Shri N. Ashok Kumar, during the former's maiden visit to Southern Manipur.
During the meeting, memorandums were submitted by the Zomi Council and the Zomi Students’ Federation (ZSF), highlighting the plight of thousands of internally displaced persons (IDPs) still confined to overcrowded relief camps. The Council stressed the need for its inclusion in all IDP-related decisions to ensure transparency and build confidence measures to gain mutual trust.
The ZC appealed initiation of structured political dialogue to address the growing ethnic divide. The delegation also raised concern over unauthorized settlements in the Imphal Valley upon those abandoned immovable properties of fleeing tribals as such activities were violation of constitutional rights and a threat to regional stability.
On the welfare front, the Council called for opening of a Pension Office and Single Window System in Lamka to address exploitation faced by senior citizens seeking their rightful pensions.
The Chief Secretary appreciated the warm reception and assured the delegation that all concerns would be taken seriously. The Zomi Council expressed hope that the visit marks a renewed commitment to justice, inclusive governance and lasting peace in Southern Manipur.
