Reacting to the escalating violence, the Indigenous Tribal Leaders Forum (ITLF) and Committee on Tribal unity (CoTU) have declared 24-hour shutdown in all Kuki-Zo areas (from midnight of January 3 to Jan 4) to protest against the alleged atrocities of the Meitei state forces and to demand their removal from all Kuki-Zo districts.
The porous border along the India-Myanmar has witnessed large-scale smuggling of goods, drugs, arms and ammunition. Following the clashes in Manipur in May 2023, the Centre embarked on a project to examine ways to fence the border which has been completed by multiple agencies.

FMR allows people residing close to the India-Myanmar border on either side to venture 16km into the other’s territory without documents. | Latest News India
