Kuki_Inpi_Manipur extends shutdown

Kuki Inpi, the apex body of the Kuki tribes in India — Manipur, has repeatedly extended a total shutdown across Kuki-Zo inhabited areas, including India — Kangpokpi district. The shutdown, initially called after the killing of three church leaders and alleged abductions, has been extended multiple times due to a perceived lack of significant progress from authorities. Kuki Inpi demands investigation into the killings, identification and justice for perpetrators, and the safe, unconditional release of all detained Kuki-Zo individuals. The organization has warned of intensifying democratic protest measures if their demands remain unresolved. Essential services like healthcare, media, and security are exempted. The ongoing tensions and law-and-order challenges in India — Manipur continue to be a major concern, with Kuki Inpi appealing to the India — India to restore peace and address hardships.
