LAMKA, Feb 8: The Kuki-Zo Council (KZC) on Sunday issued an advisory cautioning all State and Central Government employees, as well as private employees belonging to the Kuki-Zo community, against travelling to or accepting postings in Meitei-dominated areas at this time, citing serious safety concerns.
In a press release issued from its headquarters in Lamka, the KZC stated that the ongoing conflict between the Kuki-Zo people and the Meiteis has not ended and that there is no political solution, mutually agreed settlement, or formal agreement in place to address the root causes of the crisis or ensure the safety of the Kuki-Zo people. The situation on the ground, it said, remains fragile, tense and unpredictable.
Referring to the installation of a new Meitei-led government, the Council expressed apprehension that Kuki-Zo employees may be directed or transferred to serve in Meitei-dominated areas.
In this context, KZC strongly advised employees under the State Government, Central Government, public sector undertakings and private institutions not to travel, report for duty, or accept postings in such areas, even if officially instructed to do so.
The Council clarified that the advisory has been issued purely in the interest of safeguarding human life, stressing that no official duty or administrative order is worth risking personal safety at this critical juncture.
It noted that in the absence of a credible political solution or mutually accepted agreement, safe movement and coexistence cannot be guaranteed.
KZC also urged the authorities to recognise the prevailing realities and act responsibly to ensure that no lives are put at risk.
It called upon all concerned to exercise utmost caution until peace is restored through justice and a lasting political settlement.
