CoTU Extends Shutdown in Manipur Over Kuki-Zo Youths' Deaths, Demands Justice
The Committee on Tribal Unity (CoTU) has extended a shutdown in Manipur's Kangpokpi district and Sadar Hills by 48 hours, protesting the government's inaction over the abduction and deaths of two Kuki-Zo youths. Essential services like schools, healthcare, media, and air travel remain operational. The shutdown began after the youths went missing on October 28 and their bodies were found on November 1. CoTU demands timely justice and warns of further action if authorities fail to respond within the extended period.
