The Kuki-Zo Council (KZC) has cautioned government and private sector employees from the Kuki-Zo community against traveling to or accepting postings in Meitei-dominated areas due to ongoing conflicts. The KZC highlighted the lack of a political solution or formal agreement to address the root causes of the conflict, emphasizing the fragile and tense situation. Employees are strongly advised not to report for duty in such areas for their safety, as the organization prioritizes safeguarding human life amidst the unrest.
With a new Meitei-led government in place, the KZC expressed concerns about potential employee transfers to Meitei-dominated regions, urging authorities to recognize the risks involved. The tribal body emphasized the importance of ensuring safety until a lasting political settlement is achieved, calling for responsible actions from all parties involved. Protests by various Kuki-Zo organizations have erupted in hill districts against the new government, with clashes reported and injuries sustained during demonstrations.
Amidst the protests, tensions have escalated in Churachandpur and other hill districts following the government formation process involving Kuki-Zo MLAs. The involvement of Kuki-Zo representatives in the state government has sparked unrest, leading to clashes between protesters and security forces. The situation remains volatile, with ongoing demonstrations and calls for caution until peace is restored through a just political resolution.
