EULOGY TO OUR FALLEN HEROES: Mr Haokhogin Lhouvum

EULOGY TO OUR FALLEN HEROES

Mr. Haokhogin Lhouvum

(45 years, S/o Mr. Khupkam Lhouvum and Mrs. Lhingjanei)

> Lasan Village, Twilang Area, IT Road, Tamenglong District, Manipur

Cause of Death:

Incinerated to death by NSCN-IM and ZUF (K) militants on 9th June 2026 (Tuesday)

Mr. Haokhogin Lhouvum, a resident of Lasan village, Twilang area, IT Road was brutally murdered by NSCN-IM and ZUF(K) militants today while on his way to his farm. An innocent man, an unarmed civilian, a family man on his way to make his living, waylaid by morally bankrupt murderers who waged their dishonorable war on the innocent. He left behind a grieving wife and a young son. 

May his soul rest in peace; may the perpetrators face God's wrath and judgement; may the family find justice.

Democracy Behind Closed Doors: The SIR Reality

THE wheels of Indian democracy are turning once again as the Election Commission launches the third phase of its Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Across Odisha, Mizoram, Sikkim, and Manipur, booth-level officers are tasked with going door-to-door to ensure the electoral rolls are flawless before the June 28 deadline. On paper, the goal is noble and precise: to ensure no eligible citizen is left out, and no ineligible name remains. It is an ambitious attempt to update the records for over 36 crore voters across 16 states and three union territories. Yet, while administrative machinery moves smoothly in peaceful regions like Odisha or Sikkim, applying the same rigid blueprint to a state fractured by conflict reveals a profound and troubling disconnect.

In Manipur, the idea of a standard “house-to-house” visit feels less like a bureaucratic exercise and more like a cruel joke. Since the devastating violence erupted in May 2023, thousands of homes have been reduced to ashes, and entire villages have vanished into wasteland. Hundreds of thousands of people have been uprooted, living in makeshift camps or fleeing the state entirely. How exactly are government officials supposed to knock on doors that no longer exist? Both the central and state governments have shown a shocking lack of accountability, failing to maintain an accurate, transparent record of exactly how many people have been displaced or where they have fled.

This administrative failure highlights a deeper, more painful negligence from both the central leadership in New Delhi and the state government. By pretending that a standard enumeration drive can function normally in a war zone, the authorities are effectively turning a blind eye to internally displaced persons. These survivors, who have already lost their homes, livelihoods, and sense of safety, now face the very real threat of losing their political identity. Forcing traumatized, displaced citizens to navigate complex paperwork or find an internet connection in a relief camp just to keep their right to vote is completely unfair. It represents a total breakdown of state responsibility, treating citizens as statistical data rather than suffering human beings.

A democracy is only as strong as its commitment to its most vulnerable citizens. If the government can spend vast resources on security forces and official exercises, it must find a way to actively seek out and register every single displaced person from Manipur, rather than letting ethnic divisions dictate who gets counted. True inclusivity cannot be achieved by sitting in comfortable offices and issuing deadlines while avoiding the ground reality. Until the state acknowledges the reality on the ground, stops hiding behind paperwork, and takes deliberate, compassionate steps to count those who have lost everything, this intensive revision remains an incomplete, hollow promise.

Khuang: The Heartbeat of Mizo Culture and Tradition

Khuang (Drum) is a Mizo indigenous instrument which occupies a very sig­nificant place in Mizo social and religious life. Khuang is a must on all occasions. It is made of a hollow tree, wrapped on both sides with animal skin. The Mizo gives different names according to its size and length. The big-sized one is called Khuangpui (Big drum), the middle one is called Khuanglai, and the small-sized one is Khuangte (little drum). If it is longish, they called it Kawlkhuang.

KIM Urges Centre to Curb NSCN-IM Cross-Border Activities

Lamka, June 9, 2026: Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM), the apex body of the Kuki tribes, has strongly rejected allegations made by the Tangkhul NSCN-IM mouthpiece Nagalim Voice, which accused the Government of India of using Kuki groups to wage a “shadow war” against the Naga movement.

In a press statement issued on Tuesday, KIM described the allegations as “baseless and inflammatory,” accusing NSCN-IM of attempting to divert attention from what it called the organisation’s long history of armed intimidation, extortion, territorial expansionism, and violence against communities that oppose its political agenda.

KIM stated that NSCN-IM had no moral authority to speak on indigenous rights while claiming territories inhabited by multiple ethnic communities. The organisation alleged that NSCN-IM’s repeated portrayal of contested areas as exclusive Naga ancestral land ignores historical realities and the presence of other indigenous groups who have lived in those regions for generations.

The Kuki body also criticised NSCN-IM sympathisers for presenting themselves as champions of peace and Christianity while allegedly remaining silent on atrocities committed against Kukis and other critics. It said invoking Christianity while justifying violence, intimidation, and ethnic hostility was contradictory to Christian teachings.

KIM further called on the Government of India to strengthen border management and security mechanisms to curb the movement of NSCN-IM and its Eastern Flank cadres from Myanmar. It alleged that insurgent groups have long exploited porous borders to transport cadres, weapons, and logistics, contributing to instability in the region.

According to the statement, continued inaction has enabled armed groups to evade accountability, sustain extortion networks, and perpetuate violence and insecurity. KIM stressed that the people of the region deserve peace, development, and the rule of law.

The organisation also dismissed NSCN-IM’s claim that Kuki groups are proxies of New Delhi, describing the accusation as “disingenuous and immature.” It maintained that Kuki political aspirations and grievances stem from the lived experiences of the Kuki people and are not the result of external manipulation.

KIM urged NSCN-IM to abandon what it termed exclusivist territorial claims, acknowledge the histories and rights of other communities, and engage in dialogue based on mutual respect. The statement concluded by asserting that the future of the hill regions should be built on truth, accountability, coexistence, and respect for all indigenous communities.

Mizo Army Captain Receives Prestigious Kirti Chakra

MIZO youth Captain Lalrinawma Sailo of Chanmari Veng, Aizawl, received the Kirti Chakra, one of India's highest military gallantry awards, from President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan on June 8, 2026.

According to reports, Captain Lalrinawma Sailo, who recently turned 27, neutralized all three militants responsible for the attack in Pahalgam. The militants were reportedly eliminated during the operation.

Union home minister even referred to him in Parliament as one of those who avenged the attack on behalf of the nation.

The Indian Army described Captain Rinawma's mission as "The Cleanest Operation," noting that the militants did not get the opportunity to fire their weapons. It was announced last year that he would be awarded the Kirti Chakra, and he formally received the honour today.

Captain Lalrinawma Sailo is only the second Mizo to receive the Kirti Chakra. The first was Chalhnuna Lushai, who received the award in 1968.

Senapati, June 8, 2026 (DIO-IPR): In a bid to strengthen agricultural productivity and improve farmers' livelihoods, Deputy Commissioner of Senapati, Dharun Kumar S, IAS, distributed essential agricultural seeds and inputs to farmers at the Deputy Commissioner's Office Complex in Senapati on Monday.

The distribution programme, organized by the District Agriculture Office, Senapati, was conducted for the crop year 2026–27. Farmers received a range of agricultural inputs, including maize, pea and paddy seeds, knapsack sprayers, and locally produced vermicompost.

Addressing the gathering, DC Dharun Kumar stressed the importance of ensuring that all eligible farmers receive benefits under various government welfare schemes without difficulty. He noted that modern farming techniques, timely interventions, and institutional support can significantly enhance agricultural productivity and profitability.

The Deputy Commissioner also highlighted the need for close coordination among government departments, field officials, and farming communities to ensure the effective implementation of agricultural programmes and welfare schemes. Expressing optimism about the sector's future, he said sustained support and collective efforts would help agriculture continue to grow and contribute to the district's economic development.

District Agriculture Officer Lavei James informed that the distribution of seeds and inputs, including locally produced vermicompost, aims to support agricultural development and improve farm productivity across the district.

Manipur: Seminar on Media for Communal Harmony and Responsible Journalism Held

Imphal, June 8, 2026 (DIPR): A One-day Seminar on “Media for Communal Harmony and Responsible Journalism”, organised jointly by the Editors' Guild Manipur (EGM) and the Directorate of Information and Public Relations (DIPR), was held today at Sangai Hall, Hotel Imphal.

The seminar was inaugurated by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Manipur, Shri Yumnam Khemchand Singh.

Delivering the welcome address, Dr. Th. Charanjeet Singh, Director, DIPR, expressed gratitude to the Hon’ble Chief Minister for inaugurating the seminar. He stated that the deliberations, viewpoints of the resource persons and resolutions emerging from the seminar would provide a new direction for the media fraternity and contribute positively towards the development of the State.

Giving the keynote address, Shri Rinku Khumukcham, Editor, Imphal Times, spoke on the relevance of the seminar and underscored the importance of organising such programmes regularly. He emphasized that the media plays a vital role in society and carries significant responsibilities in shaping public discourse. He noted that seminars of this nature serve as important platforms for journalists and media professionals to periodically reflect on their duties, ethical obligations and commitment to responsible journalism.

Stressing the need to strengthen the State’s media institutions, Shri Oinam Sunil Singh, Media Advisor to the Hon’ble Chief Minister underscored the importance of reinforcing the role of media and the Directorate of Information and Public Relations in promoting balanced and responsible journalism.

Highlighting the significance of local narratives, Shri Sunil Singh stated that national media should not be allowed to solely shape perceptions regarding Manipur. He urged journalists and media organisations to collectively deliberate on these issues and work towards strengthening the credibility and effectiveness of the State’s media.

Speaking at the seminar, Shri Peter Adani, President, MHJU (Manipur Hill Journalists’ Union), highlighted the need for a comprehensive and stringent policy framework to address the issue of illegal immigration in Manipur. He observed that while various States such as West Bengal, Tripura and Assam have implemented measures under existing laws to address illegal immigration, Manipur requires stronger and more specific mechanisms considering its unique socio-political circumstances.

Shri Peter Adani further expressed the view that effective and well-defined government policies could help address concerns relating to law and order, drug trafficking and other social challenges. He noted that neighbouring States have also voiced concerns regarding the impact of illegal immigration and called upon policymakers and government officials to deliberate on the issue and provide constructive suggestions for framing appropriate policies in the interest of the State.

The seminar also featured a series of technical sessions. The pre-lunch session was moderated by Dr. R.K. Nimai, retired IAS Officer. During the session, Dr. Mayengbam Veto, Joint Secretary, Home Department, Government of Manipur, delivered a presentation on “Decoding Media Advisory by Manipur Government Home Department”. Dr. S. Ibomcha, Commanding Officer, 6th IRB and SP (Special Commando), spoke on “Combating Misinformation, Rumours and Hate Speech in the Digital Era”. Natasha Elangbam, Associate Professor, Department of Mass Communication, Manipur University, delivered a lecture on “Journalism for Peace: Lessons, Challenges and Best Practices from Conflict Regions”.

The post-lunch session was moderated by A. Mobi, Senior Journalist. During the session, Shri Yumnam Rupachandra, Secretary General, Editors' Guild Manipur (EGM) and Editor-In-Chief, Impact TV, presented a paper on “Responsible Reporting During Communal Tension and Conflict Situations”.

Shri Ashem Bhakta, President, All Manipur Working Journalists' Union (AMWJU), and Shri Peter Adhani, President, MHJU, attended the inaugural function as Guests of Honour, while Shri Khogendra Khomdram, President, EGM, presided over the programme. Among those present at the seminar were Additional Directors (IPR) W. Phajatombi Devi and T. Ramesh Singh, senior editors and journalists, officials of DIPR, representatives of various media organisations and platforms, and students of Manipur University.
