Meitei and Naga Groups Rally Against Kuki Armed Groups in Manipur Amid Rising Violence
In Manipur, Meitei and Naga groups have united to demand the abrogation of the Suspension of Operations (SoO) agreement with Kuki armed groups and the replacement of Assam Rifles with another central security force. This follows renewed ethnic violence since early 2023, including recent attacks on Meitei villagers. The United Naga Council and Meitei organizations plan rallies on October 31 to press the Centre for action. The BJP-led state government faces criticism over its handling of escalating tensions ahead of upcoming elections.
