Manipur border tension: 16 Kuki village chiefs protest boundary fencing; call for immediate suspension of work

Sixteen Kuki village chiefs along the India-Myanmar border have declared "non-cooperation" against ongoing border fencing, demanding an immediate halt until their political demands are addressed. They refuse land compensation or negotiations, highlighting the Kuki-Zo community's long-standing call for a separate administration. This demand is strongly opposed by the Meitei community, intensifying tensions amidst border construction and Free Movement Regime concerns.
