Lamka, Feb 10, 2026: The Kuki Organization for Human Rights Trust (KOHUR) has expressed serious concern over the recent tension that erupted at Litan–Sareikhong, warning against attempts to communalise what it described as an isolated incident.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, KOHUR said initial reports indicate that the situation began as a minor altercation involving a few intoxicated individuals, but later attempts were made to portray it as an ethnic issue between the Tangkhul and Kuki communities.
The organisation strongly appealed to all concerned groups to refrain from spreading inflammatory narratives and urged restraint to prevent the escalation of the situation into a wider ethnic confrontation.
KOHUR called upon both communities to uphold peace, mutual respect, and restraint, reminding that the Tangkhul and Kuki people share a long history of coexistence and a common Christian faith that promotes reconciliation and compassion.
The organisation also expressed disappointment over the reported inaction of central forces and state police personnel present at the spot, alleging that they failed to intervene effectively as tensions escalated.
Stating that security forces have a constitutional duty to act impartially and proactively, KOHUR said any lapse in maintaining public order raises serious concerns about accountability.
KOHUR reiterated that the people of Manipur have already suffered immense hardship due to prolonged conflict and urged responsible leadership, calm public discourse, and immediate administrative vigilance to prevent further escalation.
