Lamka, April 25, 2026: The Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM) has raised serious concern over what it described as a coordinated build-up of Meitei and Tangkhul militant groups in Manipur’s Ukhrul district, posing a threat to Kuki-Zo civilians.
In a press release issued from its secretariat on April 25, KIM stated that it has received confirmed inputs about the presence of over 50 Meitei Arambai Tenggol militants stationed at Sikibung in Ukhrul district. These groups are reportedly operating in coordination with Tangkhul militant elements, indicating an organized and structured militant deployment with direct implications for civilian safety and public order.
According to the statement, several locations in Ukhrul district—including Sareikhong, T.M. Kasom, Leingangching, Sikibung, and Thoyee—are currently being used as bases for joint militant activities. KIM further alleged that an unauthorized NSCN-led Tangkhul militant camp continues to operate within this network without visible enforcement action, pointing to a lapse in maintaining law and order.
The organization also claimed that it has received inputs suggesting that a senior police officer in Manipur may have compromised operational integrity by sharing sensitive information about vulnerable Kuki villages, potentially enabling targeted attacks. KIM stated that if proven true, such actions would amount to a serious breach of official responsibility and weaken the credibility of the security system.
Highlighting the growing security concerns, KIM said the convergence of Meitei and Tangkhul militant elements across multiple locations, along with the lack of effective containment measures, reflects a deteriorating situation in Ukhrul district that requires immediate attention.
Kuki Inpi Manipur has urged the Government of India to take prompt and decisive action. It called for dismantling all militant camps, removing armed concentrations, initiating an independent inquiry into the alleged intelligence breach, and ensuring adequate protection for vulnerable civilian populations.
The organization stressed that the situation demands urgent intervention to restore order and uphold the rule of law.
