GIVE DESCRIPTION 150 CHA: LAMKA, June 9, 2026: Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM) has strongly condemned the killing of a Kuki-Zo villager, identified as Haogin Lhouvum, son of Khupkam and a resident of Lasan village in Tamenglong district, who was shot dead at around 1:00 PM on Tuesday.
In a press statement issued by Janghaolun Haokip, Secretary, Information and Publicity, Kuki Inpi Manipur, on June 9, KIM described the incident as a “cold-blooded murder” and alleged that it reflects serious failures in the state’s security and administrative systems.
The organisation said the killing raises concerns over the continued vulnerability of Kuki-Zo villages in Tamenglong district and questioned the authorities’ ability to ensure the safety of residents.
KIM called on the Government of Manipur, the district administration, and security agencies to explain why Kuki-Zo villages remain exposed to such attacks despite repeated appeals from civil society organisations.
It alleged that Kuki-Zo habitations have not been provided the same level of protection as other communities.
The organisation also expressed concern over what it described as a continuing pattern of violence against Kuki-Zo civilians.
It questioned why certain Tangkhul-led Naga elements allegedly continue to target innocent Kuki villagers, stating that such acts deepen divisions, undermine peace, and erode trust between neighbouring communities.
According to KIM, the killing highlights the consequences of unequal security arrangements and administrative indifference.
The organisation stressed that repeated security failures resulting in the loss of innocent lives and property cannot be allowed to continue.
KIM further stated that Kuki villages deserve equal protection under the law and urged authorities to be held accountable for recurring security lapses before more lives are lost.
