Manipur Talks on Sunurok Killings Stall Amid Ethnic Tensions and Security Concerns
A meeting between the Manipur government and the Joint Action Committee (JAC) over the October 19 Sunurok killings of three Meitei civilians ended without agreement, as the JAC refused to claim the bodies pending government action on security assurances. The killings reportedly stemmed from a dispute over tree felling, with suspects arrested and investigations ongoing. Meanwhile, the Kuki-Zo Council criticized the government for selective security responses and threatened political withdrawal, highlighting ongoing ethnic tensions and concerns over the Suspension of Operations agreement.
