Kuki Inpi South-West Sadar Hills (KI-SWSH) has condemned the use of force by security personnel during the dispersal of protesters, alleging that peaceful demonstrators were subjected to tear gas, blank ammunition, and lathi charges.
In a statement issued on 22 June 2026, the apex body stated that the public shutdown was organized to protest what it described as discriminatory and targeted combing operations against Kuki communities. The organization alleged that the concerns and grievances of the people were not being adequately addressed.
According to the statement, three individuals sustained critical injuries during the security action. KI-SWSH termed the use of force unjustifiable and expressed concern over the impact on civilians participating in the protest.
The organization further claimed that the ongoing communal tensions were instigated by NSCN-IM and its alleged proxy, the ZUF-Kamson faction. It urged the government to take decisive legal action against those responsible and ensure accountability.
KI-SWSH warned that public agitation would continue unless authorities address the issues raised and take steps to restore confidence among affected communities. The statement was issued by the Department of Information and Publicity, Kuki Inpi South-West Sadar Hills.
