Manipur's Kuki Group Extends Shutdown Demanding Justice for Two Killed Youths
The Committee on Tribal Unity (CoTU) has extended a shutdown in Manipur's Kangpokpi district and Sadar Hills by 48 hours to protest the government's alleged failure to deliver justice for the abduction and killing of two Kuki-Zo youths. Essential services remain operational during the shutdown, which has disrupted transportation and daily life. CoTU demands immediate, time-bound action against the perpetrators and warns of further public mobilization if the government does not respond promptly. The killings have intensified ethnic tensions in the region.
