Four Killed in Manipur Attack; Tangkhul Naga Body Calls 24-Hour Shutdown
Four Tangkhul Naga civilians were killed in an armed attack on September 24 at Pilong village in Manipur's Kamjong district near the Indo-Myanmar border. Authorities suspect involvement of the Kuki National Army-Burma faction, though investigations continue. In response, the Tangkhul Naga Long called a 24-hour shutdown starting September 25, urging strict compliance while exempting essential services. The incident follows ongoing tensions between Naga and Kuki communities in the region since February.
