Villagers of Sehao flee homes after KNLF unleashed violence
IMPHAL, May 11: Following the brutal assault on five villagers of Sehao and six labourers engaged in the construction of PMGSY road allegedly by cadres of KNLF, many Sehao villagers including women and children have started fleeing their homes in fear since last Saturday evening.
On receiving the news about the incident, a team of Kuki Student`s Organization (KSO) Khengjoi Block and former ADC Member of Songjang Constituency Paokhosei Haokip along with a media team visited the villagers and the victims who are taking shelter at the outpost of 6 Dogra Regiment located at Kemdo today.
The assaulted villagers have been identified as Seikhomang Haokip, 27 son of Late Jamkhotil Haokip, Chief of Senam; Seichon Haokip, 30 son of Late Onthang Haokip; Lunsei Haokip, 35 son of Thangsat Haokip; Lunkhosat Haokip, 29 son of Thangsat Haokip; Jamkhongam Haokip, 38 son of Late LimseiHaokip.
While the labourers assaulted by the KNLF have been identified as Sh Subash, 44 of Keirao Wangkhem (Work Supervisor), JCB driver Kh Subash, 30 son of Kh Ibo of Wabagai, JCB driver S Herojit, 19 son of Kanhai of Nongmaikhong, JCB driver Salam Romesh, 28 son of S Thoiba and JCB 2nd driver Chungkham Naoba, 20 son of Ibohal of Sekmaijing.
According to the victims, two armed cadres of Kuki National Liberation Front (KNLF) brutally assaulted the five JCB Drivers and a villager near Sehao village while returning back from a work site at around 6 pm last night. The cadres also assaulted four other villagers and the work supervisor who came to search the JCB drivers after they failed to return for long. After beating black and blue using woods, the armed cadres also threatened to kill all the villagers if they inform the army and media persons about the incident.
Fearing reprisal from the armed outfit, the villagers were compelled to flee their homes along with the labourers and took shelter at the Out Post of 6 Dogra Regiment. The Officers and personnel of 6 Dogra Regiment administered first aid treatment to all the assaulted individuals besides providing shelter and food for the villagers till Sunday morning.
After interacting with the villagers, Paokhosei Haokip, former ADC Member of Songjang and KSO Khengjoi Block made a temporary arrangement to accommodate the villagers at Khangbarol BDO Office as the villagers refused to return to the village fearing dire consequences.
Speaking to media persons, Seikhomang Haokip, Chief of Sehao who is also the vice president of KSO Khengjoi Block said that the incident of last night was not the first atrocity meted out by the KNLF cadres upon the villagers. There had been an incident where cadres of the armed outfit indiscriminately fired several rounds in the villagecreating fear psychosis among the villagers particularly to the women and children, he added.
Moreover, the cadres of the outfit also kidnapped one labourer engaged in the construction of the PMGSY road from the village on April 22 last but the labourer managed to escape from the captors. There had been another incident in which a Shaktiman Driver was tortured some days back. Since the said armed outfit established their designated camp at Semol, villagers of the area particularly the Sehao villagers cannot settle peacefully, lamented the Village Chief.
While appealing the concerned authority to shift the KNLF designated camp from the area, Seikhomang Haokip said that the villagers will not return to their homes until and unless the concerned authority shifted cadres of the outfit from their Semol designated camp.
Strongly condemning the action of the KNLF Cadres, Paokhosei Haokip who is also the Chief of New Songjang Village said such mindless action and atrocities of KNLF upon the innocent villagers and labourers should be condemned by all. He expressed gratitude to the 6 Dogra Regiment for providing assistance to the aggrieved villagers.

KANGPOKPI, August 29: The Kuki Students’ Organisation, Sadar Hills has strongly lodged its displeasure over the construction of the Imphal-Tamenglong Road from Kangpokpi to Tamei under North East Council programme
KANGPOKPI, August 29: The Kuki Students’ Organisation, Sadar Hills has strongly lodged its displeasure over the construction of the Imphal-Tamenglong Road from Kangpokpi to Tamei under North East Council programme with an estimate amount of Rs. 78 crore, after a spot inspection today.
KSO Sadar Hills president Thangminlen Kipgen said a team of the KSO-SH had seen disappointing progress of the more than two years of work along the IT Rod from Kangpokpi to Tamei.
He said however, several portions of the road were found to be done as per specifications with the exception of a stretch between Chawangkining village and Thonglang Akutpa village which is still in its previous condition added the student body chief.
He also pointed out that various portions of the thinly black topped road have already started to peel off even before the road construction is completed while adding that improper drainage also accounts for the early damage.
Asserting that since the construction work of the IT Road Kangpokpi to Tamei will not be undertaken again for another decade or so, he said the implementing agencies as well as the State government and all those involved should recognise the plight of the people.
Thangminlen Kipgen alleged that the sluggish pace of the road construction is mainly due to the apathetic attitude of the concern division E.E. and not of the contractor while demanding replacement of the present E.E. with a new one who is more progress oriented to complete the work on the stipulated time.
Kipgen further said the concerned the contractors reiterate that they are most ready to complete the road construction within a given time frame while alleging the State government and the Division EE of delaying the payment of fund which had already been released by the NEC in the month of May.
He also asserted that the importance of I.T. Road vitally urgent to the Thadou-Kuki Christian as 100 years of Christianity is due to be celebrated in December, adding that many national and international missionaries would be invited to attend the function.
“It would be best on the part of the Government to intervene immediately in the matter, or else the public will not remain silent spectators if the road mars the centenary celebration”, warned the KSO Sadar Hills chief.
He also warned of launching various agitations on the part of KSO Sadar Hills if the implementing agencies as well as the concerned authority fail to construct the road according to the guidelines provided of NEC.

IMPHAL, July 8: The divide and rule policy of the British colonial rulers deprived the Zo people their Indigenous Nation’s Rights. This was stated by the spokesman of Zo Re-unification
IMPHAL, July 8: The divide and rule policy of the British colonial rulers deprived the Zo people their Indigenous Nation’s Rights. This was stated by the spokesman of Zo Re-unification Organisation (ZoRO) Simte.
ZoRO is an affiliated organisation under United Nations People Forum on indigenous Issues (UNPFII) which intends to re-unify the politically scattered Zo people.
Simte was speaking in a press conference at the information office of Kuki Students’ Organization (KSO) in Sumkong Kaimun Tuibuong, Churachandpur on Tuesday. He said the general headquarters of the organization will be celebrating the World Indigenous Day on August 9 at Aizawl, Mizoram under the aegis of Mizo Zillai Pawl (MZP) Lunglei and ZoRO Southern Zone.
Mizoram Art & Culture minister Romawia will be present as the chief guest on the day of the celebration. It will also be attended by ZoRO General Headquarters president R. Thangmawia, delegates from ZoRO Zones and division, intellectuals and leaders of Zo Indigenous people across the globe. Cultural troupes from Chittagong Hill Tracts, Saiha and Lawngtlai districts will show-case cultural dances on the occasion, he added.
Simte said the Zomis have been striving for re-unification and the Mizo National Front bear arms in 1966 to fight for their cause for twenty years from 1966 to 1986 during which many people were killed tortured and raped while many houses were burnt down.
Many innocent people suffered and many were disabled for the rest of their lives. Many villages were uprooted causing the death of many people from starvation, he added.
Their plight didn’t reach the ears of the world and leaders of ZoRO. This horrible incident was reported to human rights commission leaders but they requested the organisation to report such atrocities to Amnesty International instead, Simte said.
“The British understood that the Zo people were one community and intended to put them under one administrative head. The resolution at the Chin-Lushai Conference held on January 28, 1892 in Forth William, Calcutta and other resolutions on the eve of independence of India and Pakistan got in 1947, and Burma in 1948 are indicative of their intentions.”
He further said that the British government left the Zo Indigenous people without acting on their decision and Zo people are lying along the Indo-Bangladesh-Myanmar frontier separated into three sovereign countries.
