Manipur Groups Demand Probe and Action After Civilian Killings Amid SoO ConcernsPreviousNext

Following a shooting near Sunurok Uyok, Manipur, that killed three Meitei civilians and injured two others on October 19, the Joint Tribes Council (JTC) and the Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) demanded action. The JTC called for an independent probe and review of the Suspension of Operations (SoO) agreement, questioning its enforcement and security deployment. COCOMI urged a military crackdown and complete abrogation of the SoO, citing repeated violations by Kuki armed groups and concerns over civilian safety despite central security presence.
