After "900 Militants From Myanmar" Report, Kuki Groups In Manipur Call Shutdown

The Kuki Inpi Manipur in a statement refuted the allegations of infiltration from Myanmar, and alleged the intelligence report confirmed by the Security Adviser Kuldiep Singh was baseless and part of a larger narrative

The Kuki-Zo tribes in Manipur have asked their community to be vigilant between September 26 and 29, days after the Manipur Security Adviser confirmed in a press conference that some "900 Kuki militants" trained in jungle warfare and use of weaponised drones have entered the violence-hit state from neighbouring Myanmar.

The Kuki Inpi Manipur in a statement refuted the allegations of infiltration from Myanmar, and alleged the intelligence report confirmed by the Security Adviser Kuldiep Singh was baseless and part of a larger narrative, possibly intended to justify aggression against the Kuki-Zo tribes.

"All Kuki-Zo people are urged to refrain from organising or attending public events until September 28, 2024, to prevent any possible escalation of violence," the Kuki Inpi Manipur said, apart from calling a complete shutdown in areas in Manipur where the Kuki tribes are dominant.
