Office of the
ZOMI CHIEFS' ASSOCIATION
General Headquarters
Date: 08.02.2026
PRESS STATEMENT
The Zomi Chiefs' Association expresses its strongest condemnation of the continued failure of the concerned authorities implement Order No. 337 dated 07 January 2022, by which Thanlon Sub-Division was officially re-amalgamated with Churachandpur District.* Even after four years, key departments such as Education, Police, Social Welfare and others remain under the functional control of Pherzawl District. This prolonged administrative distortion is indefensible and stands in to both the will of the people and the government's own notified order.
Public patience is now at the tweaking point. The ZCA has repeatedly pursued this through constitutional and administrative channels, yet persistent inaction has only intensified public anger and eroded trust in the authorities.
The January 2026 incident in which a Social Welfare Department program was conducted at Bukpi Village with the involvement of the Pherzawl District constitutes a grave breach of local administrative propriety and traditional authority. It is a deliberate and serious insult to the institution of tribal chieftainship and is both provocative and unacceptable.
Furthermore, the notification issued by Board of Secondary Education, Manipur dated 07 February 2026 listing High School under Pherzawl District for the HSLC Examination, 2026 demonstrates disregard for established administrative boundaries and further inflames public sentiment.
The Zomi Chiefs' Association categorically declares that the *Pherzawl District administration must immediately cease organizing or conducting any program outside its lawful administrative jurisdiction.* Any continued interference will be treated as a challenge to public sentiment and administrative order.
The ZCA calls upon all village chiefs the general public to cooperate with any program or activity organized by Pherzawl District authorities within Thanlon, Mualnuam, Suandoh or Singngat Sub-Divisions. This position is taken out of necessity to defend administrative clarity, public dignity, and lawful governance.
*If the immediate transfer of all departments to the Churachandpur District administration is not undertaken without delay and completed on or before 28 February 2026, the Zomi Chiefs' Association will be compelled to take all necessary measures in public interest.* Responsibility for any consequences from continued neglect will rest entirely with the concerned authorities.
