Kuki Civil Society Issues Ultimatum Over Disruptions to Essential Goods Transport in Manipur
The Working Committee of Kuki Civil Society Organisations (WCKCSOs) in Ukhrul has issued a 24-hour ultimatum to district administrations in Imphal East, Kangpokpi, and Ukhrul, demanding action against alleged seizures, destruction, and harassment related to the transport of essential goods to Kuki-Zo areas. They warned of a three-day economic blockade starting July 23 if concerns remain unaddressed. The committee cited ongoing blockades by Naga and Meitei groups on key highways and alleged unequal security provisions for Kuki-Zo transporters compared to other communities.
