As the General Election begins to gather momentum across Myanmar, the Zomi Nationalist Party opened a new office in Cikha on 22 November 2025, as part of its plan to field candidates in the upcoming polls.
A mithun was slaughtered during the inauguration to provide a public feast for the community.
Cikha is a very important place for the Zomis. It is located in Tonzang Township, Tedim District, Chin State, Myanmar, close to the India–Myanmar border. Behiang is the neighbouring town on the Indian side.
Cikha lies in the valley of the Tuivai River, also known locally as the “Cikha stream.” During the British Raj, officials called it the “Chikoo stream.” The Tuivai River enters India near Behiang and flows in a winding course until it meets the Barak River at Tipaimukh.
The town was reportedly captured by the Chin National Army on 19 May 2024 during the ongoing civil war in Myanmar.
