Kangpokpi, Manipur – July 18, 2025: The Eastern Liangmai Naga Chief Chairman Association (ELNCCA) has publicly extended its full support to the Foothills Naga Co-ordination Committee (FNCC), strongly endorsing their demands and raising alarms over what they term as serious threats of land encroachment and security violations in Naga ancestral territories.
In a press release dated July 18, 2025, the ELNCCA expressed deep concern over attempts to rename roads and alter territorial nomenclature, actions it believes are driven by hidden agendas involving certain Kuki groups and elements within government agencies. The association stated that such moves violate the historical, cultural, and territorial rights of the Indigenous Naga communities and must be condemned.
Referring to past historical goodwill where Naga forefathers provided refuge to Kuki communities fleeing Burma, the ELNCCA noted that this trust has been repeatedly misused. It accused Kuki groups of gradually expanding into Naga lands, calling it a form of "territorial aggression."
The ELNCCA urged the Government of India to:
Immediately dismantle all Kuki SoO (Suspension of Operation) camps allegedly operating on Naga land.
Halt the renaming of roads and landmarks without indigenous consultation.
Stop plans to set up new SoO camps near Naga foothill villages, especially near the Haflong–Imphal National Highway.
The press note also warned lesser-known Kuki organizations like Young Kuki and World Kuki-Zo Intellectual Council (WKZIC) to avoid making provocative statements that could destabilize peace in the region.
Emphasizing peace and reconciliation, the ELNCCA concluded by urging vigilance and unity among the Naga people, stating that no further compromise on land, identity, or dignity will be accepted.
The protest enters its 10th consecutive day as citizens of Myanmar, currently taking refuge in India, continue their peaceful demonstration outside the UNHCR office in Delhi.
They are urgently:
Seeking Refugee Status Determination (RSD)
Seeking Resettlement Opportunities
Seeking Protection
Seeking Basic Human Rights
Seeking Rights for Children
India is not a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention or its 1967 Protocol. As a result, thousands of Myanmar refugees living in India's capital face daily hardships -- in legal uncertainty, without access to proper documentation, employment, healthcare, or education.
Their voices echo a desperate plea for dignity, safety, and international attention.

Subject: Disgraceful/Abhorrent act of 36th AR, 27th Sector, Assam Rifles on the night of 16th July at Khopi Veng, Tuibuong.
Respected Sir,
While a semblance of hard-earned peace and normalcy slowly returning toward this conflict ridden place of ours, an unwanted, unwarranted action of 36th AR has disturbed the peace and tranquility of the law abiding citizens of Tuibuong on the peaceful night of 16th July, 2025. A team of devoted personnel led by Major Anush, 36th AR conducted ‘an ordered Operation’ at Khopi Veng, Tuibuong. A professional requirement as a man of the law, be it President’s Rule or a King’s Rule, that we understand.
On being requested about their actions which have caused disturbances in a peaceful locality, a totally inebriated Officer, dressed inappropriately without the required Officer’s Uniform, identified himself as a Lieutenant Colonel of 36th AR, abused everyone including and particularly some of the agitated women folk in words and tones that borders the line of racism and of sexist remarks toward the other gender, so painfully unbecoming of an Officer of the Indian Army.
We therefore urged you the following:
1. That 36 AR issue an unconditional apology within 7 days to the people of Tuibuong that an intoxicated officer of the law disturbs the peace and tranquility of the district headquarter Tuibuong, in which 27 Sector is based.
2. Transfer the said pretending abusive drunk Lieutenant-Colonel officer to a more place suitable for his kind of gunda antics.
3. Any law enforcing actions should beforehand be intimidated with the Village Authority.
As law abiding citizens, we urged you to take actions on the above points.
The village of Tuibuong, the headquarter of the district, on which we were disrespectfully spat upon, will not be silent and will not co-operate with any law enforcement agencies in the future, if any action isn’t forthcoming.
KUKI-ZO COUNCIL
The Kuki-Zo Council (KZC) regrets to inform the general public that the Mega Public Consultative Meeting, originally scheduled to be held on 19th July 2025 at Peace Ground, Tuibong, has been postponed until further notice.
This decision has been taken in view of the unhealthy atmosphere currently prevailing, which is not conducive for holding such a significant public gathering.
We deeply regret any inconvenience caused by this postponement and extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the philanthropic organisations, volunteers, and individuals who have rendered their valuable support in the construction of the hall and other preparations.
The KNO today announced its unwavering commitment to proceeding with its planned public consultation, organized by the KZC, emphasizing that the ongoing efforts represent a "People's Movement" driven by the collective aspirations of the Kuki-Zo community. Despite any prevailing circumstances, the consultation will go ahead as scheduled.
The public consultation serves as a crucial platform for open dialogue, ensuring that the voices, concerns, and recommendations of every member of the Kuki-Zo community are heard and integrated into the future direction of our movement. This initiative underscores the Council's dedication to transparency, inclusivity, and democratic principles.
"We believe in the power of our people, and this consultation is a testament to that belief. Our movement is not just about a few leaders; it's about the collective will and determination of every Kuki-Zo individual. Therefore, it is imperative that this public consultation proceeds as planned, allowing us to gather essential insights and strengthen our resolve."
The KNO urges all community members to participate actively in the upcoming consultation. Details regarding the exact dates, venues, and agenda will be widely disseminated through various community channels in the coming days.

As part of its initiative for development in the tribal areas of Manipur, the Central Executive Council (CEC) of the Tribal Youth Council Manipur (TYCM), General Headquarters, under the leadership of its CEC emergency meeting held on July 17, 2025, not only came up with a Vision for 2040 but also prioritised various key areas of development in the region.
The purpose of the vision is to highlight development-appropriate infrastructure and development strategies for tribal villages while also bringing a common understanding on how key development areas are to be aligned with the levels of development in those areas.
The vision aims to be in consonance with the welfare programmes of the Government of Manipur and the Government of India. To name a few, schemes like Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Gramin (PMAY-G), Jal Jeevan Mission, Saubhagya, MGNREGS, NSAP, PMGSY, RTE, Mid-Day Meal, School Infrastructure Development, ICDS, National Rural Livelihoods Mission, Skill Fund, Government’s efforts in Health and Digitalisation, PM FME, Aspirational Block Programme, Saturation Scheme of various Departments, and more.
Notable Departments to be aligned with this Vision 2040 are: Planning Department, Tribal Affairs & Hills Department, Health Department, Social Welfare Department, Power Department, Education Department, RD & PR Department, Rural Development Department, PHED, Transport Department, Food & Civil Supplies Department, Agriculture Department, Horticulture Department, Soil Conservation Department, Forest & Environment Department, Labour Department, Sericulture Department, Revenue Department, and Minor Irrigation Department.
Moreover, the Vision 2040 is in line with Sustainable Development Goals 2030. It also mentions the importance of Data Collection, Data Monitoring and Informed Decision-Making, Stakeholder Partnerships, and Village Volunteer Involvement.
The vision will be carried through a prioritised focus, which shall be clearly established in the upcoming area-wise Tribal Youth Conventions 2025, and also made public via publications, for future Government of Manipur and Government of India collaborations.
The TYCM further resolved to strengthen Youth Representation at the grassroots level by taking steps to form Youth Units and Youth Committees across the length and breadth of the tribal regions of Manipur. The TYCM also calls upon all Tribal Youths to play a proactive role in shaping their communities and the future of the next generation.
The Tribal Youth Council Manipur urges the general public and concerned authorities to give attention to the demands of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and calls for better rehabilitation of the victims. The TYCM also expresses its concern over the delay in the provision of appropriate housing, employment, education, healthcare, and other rehabilitation needs for the victims of the current ethnic conflict in Manipur.
The TYCM genuinely appeals to CSOs, philanthropic individuals and welfare bodies to take up village and area-wise sustainable developmental programmes and show solidarity with the Vision 2040 of the Council.
The TYCM strongly appeals to the Chief Minister, Tribal Affairs Minister, PH, Chiefs, and Village Authorities to take appropriate steps for sustainable development of the tribals of Manipur through the lens of the Vision 2040 of the TYCM.
The draft and details of the V2040 will be made available shortly by the CEC in due course.

Subject: Appeal to advice the Joint Tribes Council (JTC) consisting of Inpui, Liangmei, Rongmei and Zemei tribes, not to disturb and interfere in the matters of ‘Churachandpur (Songpi) – Kangpokpi (Kanggui) Connectivity Road’ that Evaded/Bypass all JTC Areas and pass through only Kuki-Chin blood Chiru Khunou/Dolang Khunou Village.
Respected Sir,
With due regards and honour, the undersigned on behalf of the Thadou tribe in particular and the whole Kuki community in general, would like to thank and appreciate UNC and all Manipur and Nagaland Naga tribes for the help and support that sustained us this far, in such a hard time for the Kukis as now.
At the same time, we also would like to appeal you in matters of great concerned that at such ‘Hard Times’ for the various Kuki tribes that some evil-minded mischievous individuals, time to time created unnecessary disturbances along the route, that compelled for another “Alternative Route” to bypass all the JTC Areas not to disturb their respective peaceful atmospheres. The proposed bypass route takes a very long route so as to evade all JTC Areas and pass through only our blood brother Chirus land. We don’t object some of our blood brothers joining in UNC or NSCN-IM with the hope that this participation will all the more smoothen and mediate ‘Kuki-Naga Unity & Fraternity’.
However, it is very unfortunate that the JTC’s Memo Vide. No. Nill. JTC/MSC/2025-1, dated, the 15th July, 2025 addressed to your esteemed office portraying the ‘Kukis as Encroaching Naga Ancestral Land’ where triple times is invested to evade all their areas to pass through only our blood brother Chiru Khunou/Dolang Khunou Village.
We, therefore appeal earnestly to you to advise the JTC not to meddle in this matter where they have no legal authority and give bad name to Naga as well as Christianity, over blood brothers dealings, as per custom and tradition. We hope your able leadership will definitely solve this matter once for all, to give peace a chance to live and let live as fellow Tribals and fellow Christians.
With regards,
