Lamka, Sept 16, 2025: The United Peoples’ Front (UPF) and Kuki National Organisation (KNO) have strongly condemned a series of unruly incidents in Lamka that coincided with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s maiden visit to the town on September 13.
According to the joint press statement, a group of juvenile delinquents vandalized welcome decorations at Pearsonmun, near NH-02, barely 2 km from the town centre. Several were arrested and kept in custody by the police.
On September 14, following the PM’s departure, miscreants attacked Lamka Police Station demanding the release of those detained, leading to stone-pelting on security forces and public disorder. Later, around 1 AM, the house of Khenthang alias Calvin, KNO’s External Affairs Secretary, was allegedly torched at Dorcas Veng, New Lamka.
UPF and KNO expressed deep embarrassment and regret over such actions, calling them “selfish and dastardly.” They urged the community to focus on unity, healing, and resumption of political dialogue with the Ministry of Home Affairs for lasting peace and emancipation from decades of strife.
The organisations appealed to the public to reject divisive actions and maintain peace for the greater good of the community.
“Rather than showing solidarity, such untoward incidents only worsen the wounds of our people who are already suffering in relief centres,” the statement read.
