In a joint effort, Manipur Congress and several organizations submitted complaints on Wednesday, accusing both the Central and state governments of various lapses in addressing the ethnic riot that erupted on May 3, last year, in the State. The complaints were presented to the Commission of Inquiry, currently investigating the incidents.

The Zomi Council Steering Committee (ZCSC) strongly condemned the incessant attack on the Zo ethnic (Kuki-Zomi) tribes of Lamka district living along the border with Bishnupur district in the third consecutive day by Manipur government backed Meitei armed groups.

In the remote northeastern state of Manipur, a harrowing tale of ethnic cleansing and political failure unfolds, bearing eerie resemblances to some of history's darkest chapters. The Kuki-Zo tribe finds itself in the throes of a nightmare akin to the genocides witnessed in Rwanda and Bosnia, sparking global concern. Once again, ethnicity has become the catalyst for a reign of terror, while the Manipur Police, entrusted with protecting its citizens, seemingly remain passive bystanders to the unfolding carnage.
