He elaborated further that, as instructed by the Kuki Inpi Sadar Hills; chiefs of the four Kuki villages which lies between Kangpokpi and Senapati desist attending the meeting summoned by the KTU, NSCN/GPRN in their earlier circulation served to them without mentioning any agenda.

The second meeting circulation was served again to the four chiefs on July 25, 2013 at the same place and without mentioning any agenda to be discussed, said Chungkam Haokip, while adding that the four Kuki chiefs were again asked to refrain from attending the meeting since the Kuki Inpi is not in a position to accept any activities carried out by any element without the consent of the apex body.

The Kuki Inpi Sadar Hills president pointed out that, the movement of the Naga militant outfit KTU NSCN/GPRN is a clear and visible evil ideology of communal conflict by the NSCN-IM which is totally against the Kuki community and make his stand clear that the Kuki Inpi Sadar Hills as well as the Kuki civil bodies will defy any vested individual or unwanted element who attempt to disturb and hassle with the peace loving communities and its peaceful environment within Sadar Hills and will not entertained any activities carried out by KTU NSCN/GPRN within Sadar Hills.

Same has been done by the Kangpokpi Youth Union at Kangpokpi and subsequently all passengers buses plying between Senapati and Imphal along NH-2 have cease their service with immediate effect said the KISH president while adding that service of Senapati to Imphal bound passenger bus along NH-2 will not resume until a solution is brought.

Chungkam Haokip further mentioned that earlier, the two umbrella organizations of various Kuki militant outfits, UPF/KNO issued a press release stating that no organizations will be allowed to carry out any kinds of activities within the Kuki dominated areas without the knowledge of the two organization and the civil bodies.

KTU, NSCN/GPRN has been seriously warned to back off by the Kuki civil bodies and asked them not to further disturb the four villages while adding that if the KTU, NSCN/GPRN militant outfit in any case continue to disturb and harass any of the four Kuki chiefs which they frequently summoned for a meeting in future, they will not tolerate and take every possible steps for the safety of the peace loving communities and the prevailing peaceful environment.

The Kuki Inpi Sadar Hills also appealed to the United Naga Council and other Naga civil bodies as well as other light-minded persons to initiate and get involved in the matter to bring out peaceful solution before things turn ugly in the interest of the tribal uprightness.

PRESS RELEASE

Dated Tahamzam, 7th April, 2013

The first leg of the United Naga Council(UNC) political tour in Naga areas was undertaken in Chamdil(Chandel) district in association with the Chandel Naga Peoples’ Organisation and the 7 constituent tribes councils of the region from the 5th to 7th April, 2013. The political tour was carried out mainly with a view to study the socio-economic conditions of the Nagas which is weakening by the day and to verify the tall claims made by the Government of Manipur on schemes/projects submitted in the tripartite talk as development initiatives taken up by them in tribal areas. Interactions were held with village chiefs and social leaders across the district and the common refrain was the loss of hope for a future with dignity on all fronts under the communal Government of Manipur.

UNC political tour – Joint meeting with frontal organisations at MACA Hall, Chamdil(Chandel)

The touring team also discussed issues on the proposed Chakpi River Multi Purpose project with members of the Committee Against the construction of Chakpi Dam. The anti-people development aggression of the Government of Manipur which would uproot thousands of indigenous tribals from their own lands was the shared concern and such incursion without the free, prior and informed consent of the people should be resisted with all possible means.

The tour programme concluded with a joint meeting with frontal organisations including the Naga Women’s Union Chandel, Nagas Student’s Union Chandel, the Tribe Councils, the Chandel Naga People’s Organisation and several social leaders The contours of the tripartite talk process on the demand for an alternative arrangement outside the Government of Manipur was highlighted in the joint meeting which also emphasised on the need to be organised and be in continued preparedness for taking forward the people’s movement to its logical conclusion.

33 Kv Sub station at Saluk, Chakpikarong reported as 50% completed.

The abduction of Mr. H. Khangba, President of the Thangal Naga Union by an armed group was strongly condemned in the joint meeting. The meeting took strong exception to the irreverence for the respected office of a tribe social organisation and urged all peace loving people to condemn the act so that such abominable deeds do not occur in the future.

The entire tour programme was hosted by the Lamkang Naga Union.

Press Release

There was a mass rally held today, 19^th. 08.2011 starting from 9.30 am in Ukhrul District and all other Naga hill area in Manipur protesting against the upgradation of Sadar Hill District into full fledged District. The rally in Ukhrul was joined en mass by the Tangkhul frontal organization which includes Students, concern citizens, farmers, housewives, senior citizens, civil societies and other various organizations. The rally is mainly spearheaded by Tangkhul Katamnao Long, Tangkhul Shanao Long, Tangkhul Naga Long and Tangkhul Mayar Ngala Long.

The rally which was initiated by United Naga Council (UNC) were seen being participated by thousands of concern Tangkhul-Naga joins hands demanding and making a firm declaration that – without the consent of the Nagas not an inch of the Nagas land could be touched by an outsider, part away and alter in creation of Sadar Hills District. The Tangkhul- Nagas strongly condemn the devisive policy of Ibobi’s led Government to infuse communal hatred among the peaceful co-existing tribals. They call upon the government of Manipur to respect the previous MOU which was sign between the government of Manipur and the Nagas apex social organization on 1981,1982,1996 and 1998.

The Tangkhul Katamnao Saklong (TKS) during an exclusive interview mentioned that the Naga villages under the demand of Sadar hill District cover Naga tribal villages from liangmai tribe, Tangkhul, Thangal , Maring, Mao and poumai. More than around 47 Tangkhul- Naga villages are situated in the said demand of the so-called Sadar hill District. Nagas have been living in their forefather land from time immemorial unlike the Kuki refugees who were migrated mostly from the Chin-Burma (Myanmar) province during the British era as a labourer and who started setting up camps around the places wherever the Britisher’s made their Headquarters mostly in North East of India. In regard to the statement they claim that the Kuki-refugees in Manipur state have no rights to blow their own trumpet to claim a District or Homeland by bifurcating an inch of the Nagas land without the consent of the Nagas.

The Naga people as a mass warn the Government of Manipur (GoM) that they should look into the matter thoroughly and should not take hasty decisions which will resulted in marring the sentiments of the Naga people in Manipur or which will resulted in inter- communal disturbance. If such incidents happen in future it was declared that the responsibility and the consequences will be directly pointed at GoM.
