The Zomi Council has learnt that certain authorities in the Central Government have invited a particular Civil Society Organisation (CSO) from the Manipur hills to surreptitiously discuss the issue of reopening National Highways for free access under the current disturbed conditions in Manipur.
With regard to the proper and public utilization of NH-2 (Tipaimukh Road/Lamka to Sipuikawn) and NH-102B (Guite Road/Lamka to Tuivai, beyond Sinzawl and Singngat to Behiang), any discussion in this regard must involve the participation of the Zomi Council and its affiliated bodies, without which any arrangement would be considered obsolete and untenable.
These road-connected areas are Zomi-inhabited territories, vigilantly protected by the local population with deep commitment and love for their land.
Any CSO operating without the blessing of the Zomi Council is doomed to fail from day one, notwithstanding the fact that delegates from Lamka crisscrossed the Imphal Valley for a meeting in Kangpokpi on July 29, 2025 were escorted to and fro by Assam Rifles personnel in an apparent bid to prop up a ragtag group of dissidents into a puppet and pliable formation.
Furthermore, the same security forces under a Major escorted the said delegation along NH-102B on August 4, 2025 en route to Aizawl.
The divisive role played by the Assam Rifles in unduly favouring a particular CSO has been duly noted and is deemed truly abominable.
In its Annual General Assembly held on May 11, 2024, vide Resolution No. 1, the Zomi Council formally rejected the term "Kuki-Zo" as a legitimate identity.
Accordingly, any organization bearing the name "Kuki-Zo Council" stands rejected and is unwelcome in all Zomi-inhabited areas, particularly within Churachandpur (Lamka) district and Lamka township.
The Zomi Council hereby cautions the Kuki-Zo Council to choose to operate and set-up office only in areas where they are accepted, if any. This would ensure their future security and novel comfort, as opposed to resorting to deployment of armed guards in their residential areas on fictitious grounds of insecurity.
Such reckless practices pose a direct threat to the security and well-being of innocent bystanders and the general public.
The Zomi Council will always stand with its nine constituent tribes and shall continue to work tirelessly to safeguard their security, dignity and well-being.
We appeal to the governmental authorities to understand and respect the strong sense of ownership our people have over their ancestral lands.
