Full Report At the End
A joint operation by
THE GOVERNMENT MUST CRUSH MILITANT CADRES IN #MANIPUR FOLLOWING THE LAPSE OF THE SoO AGREEMENT, TAKING DECISIVE ACTION THAT CUTS ACROSS ALL ETHNIC LINES.
The agreement that established ground rules for Kuki-Zo militants in Manipur no longer exists. For 18 years, 17 outfits were governed by these rules. With these guidelines no longer in place, 2,000 militants from Kuki-Zo outfits are now free to act as they please.
This development is a double-edged sword: while it allows security forces to act against them, it also grants Kuki cadres the freedom to use weapons that were previously kept under lock and key under the agreement.
With Nagas already in the fray in Manipur, violence could escalate. Naga militants are heavily armed and have a history of conflict with the Kukis. Furthermore, what began as a Meitei-Kuki conflict has turned multi-ethnic, drawing in Nagas, Meitei Pangals, and even the Gorkha community.
The Suspension of Operations agreement never enjoyed pan-Manipur acceptance, and the Meiteis were dead opposed to it. Conversely, the Kukis felt the agreement was the way forward for them. In the absence of established ground rules, relationships between communities could sour further, as civil society organisations are expected to take hardline positions on the issue.
It is for this reason that dialogue has never successfully taken place in Manipur. Instead of working toward inter-community talks, civil society groups sadly end up consolidating hardline views within their respective communities. Consequently, despite three years of constant violence, an interlocutor-led approach has failed miserably.
Even the movement of security forces is affected, as communities doubt the neutrality of the men in uniform. Compounding this issue is the silence of the political class. The biggest abdication of duty has come from elected representatives who, instead of addressing the broader situation in Manipur, have focused strictly on community-specific issues under pressure from militant groups.
Manipur needs to end the culture of militant politics that is amplified through civil society organisations, which in turn paralyze those elected to office. While this does not relieve politicians of their responsibility, the reality is that guns and mob culture have become part of the normal discourse.
Manipur is uniquely plagued by this; it is the only place where a beheaded body was dumped outside the office of a sitting chief minister.
The Centre cannot abdicate its role in this mess either. It has waited too long and has failed to take the necessary political steps to resolve the situation. The bogey of foreign intervention needs to end, as the problem is deeply internal. While no one denies that illegal immigration and opium cultivation are major issues, the border will remain porous for a long time.
Finally, the conflict has become deeply territorial, dividing the state into multiple zones. Such territorialisation never happened in either Punjab or Kashmir. The government needs to break the back of armed groups in Manipur and ensure that CSO activities amplify the work of elected representatives, rather than those sitting with guns in camps. This brand of politics has delegitimated democracy.
Dissent on the street must operate within constitutional norms, not outside them. Territorial chokeholds need to be broken, and the government must once and for all make a definitive call on SoO agreements. Either they remain—and the public is told why they are necessary—or they go away forever, accompanied by a robust counter strategy.
#CVikramSingh wife Joshna speaks with rare strength, dignity and composure in the face of unimaginable shock and pain. To not want revenge is the sort of kindness that comes from sheer decency.
The very least that this family deserves is complete support, love and swift justice.
The type of justice that teaches a lesson of a lifetime to those who think that lives don’t matter and that there are no repercussions to such savage crimes.
#CVikramSingh must live on in the collective memory of our nation.
This is not just a matter of importance for only Meiteis (including Pangals) and Nagas. NRC is the right step for every Indian in Manipur! Including KukiZos. Let’s all give it a push 👍
#NRCb4CENSUS in #Manipur
A protest rally was held in Imphal West on August 19 in support of the ongoing agitation demanding updation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) before the Census in Manipur.
Organised as part of the Campaign for Just and Fair Delimitation’s movement, protesters marched through areas including Kakwa, Langthabal and Singjamei, calling for the ongoing Census exercise to be deferred.
Protesters said they are not against the Census, but want NRC updation to be completed first, citing concerns over the current situation in the state.
They also questioned the recent visit of Manipur BJP MLAs to Delhi and demanded a clear response from the government.
With no resolution yet in sight, protesters have warned of intensifying the agitation if their demands are not addressed.
What exactly are protesters demanding, and why has the NRC-Census issue become a major flashpoint in Manipur?

Video Evidence of Militants with Assualt Rifles extorting Money on Manipur NH37 is the reason why Petroleum Transporters, Drivers Assn gave 15days Ultimatum to fix it on 15th Jul'26 to CM @YKhemchandSingh
A clear proof that No action has been taken up by Authorities as the extortion goes on rampage even after the memorandum submitted earlier this month!
What's tragic is these trucks are being transported by the Indian Security Forces thru a convoy system. @crpfindia@adgpi@official_dgar
“Inspired by Nature” is the theme of Environment Day 2026, yet some continue to destroy the very forests that sustain life.
History once labeled them as the “Enemies of the Forest.” Sadly, their actions today continue to reinforce that reputation.
Forests inspire, protect, and nurture. Those who destroy them stand against the very spirit of nature.
Ma'am, your appeal for humanity will not be understood by the savage nomads. You made a mistake by giving them land & shelter. Ask any other Naga, Tamil, Paite, Karbi, Dimasa, Hmar, Meitei or Tiprasa - they will vet this statement.

KNA-B, a foreign Kuki militant group and the Burmese faction of Manipur’s SoO militant group KNA, is attacking innocent Tangkhul villagers in Manipur’s Kamjong district, on the border with Burma.
Is India so weak that it is unable to protect its borders and its people, or is it complicit with Kuki narco-terrorists?
Remember, the KNA already ethnically cleansed Tangkhuls from Moreh in the 1990s and Meiteis in 2023.

Manipur has become a failed state.
Why are the Indian security forces turning a blind eye to this?
Why are such elements roaming freely with complete impunity?
