The residents of Manipur's Dingpi area staged a protest over the proposed deployment of the Assam Rifles Unit under the command of a Meitei officer at Sehlon in Chandel district.
With relation to the proposed Special Assembly Session of the Manipur State Legislative Assembly, the Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM), Kuki Students Organisation-General Headquarters (KSO-GHQ), Kuki Chiefs Association (KCAM), and Kuki Women Union (KWU) cabinet meeting have resolved that no Kuki-Zo MLA must participate in the said session either in person or through video conferencing in the interest of the people.
Kuki Inpi Manipur, the apex body of Kuki tribes, on Saturday submitted a memorandum to PM Narendra Modi against the untold plights of Kukis and appealed for remedial measures.
The ITLF, one of the leading and influential tribal bodies of Manipur, said boycotting of the Assembly session is also in solidarity with the killings and attacks on the tribals.
