Imphal, Apr 7 (NNN): The Working Committee of the United Naga Council (WC-UNC) said on Monday that it has been keenly observing the unceasing and unprovoked attacks on the Naga villages including Litan, Shangkhai, Sinakeithei, Sarkarphung and Thoyee, Ukhrul district in Manipur by the Kuki militants under Suspension of Operation (SoO), using sophisticated weapons which causes panic and unrest to the villagers raising a grave concern.
“It is indeed, shocked to learn the indiscriminate firing unleashed by the Kuki militants in the evening of Easter, April 5, 2026, from 6 pm to 11 pm, defiling the solemnity and sanctity of the holy Easter and leaving villagers in panic is abominable and unacceptable in Christian’s domain”, alleged the Naga body.
The WC-UNC then said it was appalled by the “inaction and complacency” of the state and central governments, which is seen as a step-motherly treatment towards the Nagas. The position of the government on the prolonged road blockade enforced by the Kukis along the national
highway leading to Ukhrul is highly questionable, the UNC also said. “
How and why the government could not tackle to ensure the safe passage for all travelers in that short stretch of about 3 km when the state has been hosting the highest ever number of security forces in the history?” the UNC asked. The SoO groups have violated the ground rules, waging a war openly, right under the nose of the armed forces, it further alleged.
The UNC then said the “rationale behind the alarming government’s policy in letting loose the Kuki militants to wage war on Naga people should be questioned by the entire right thinking citizen in the country”. This raises serious concerns about the government’s role in protecting its citizens, putting the lives and properties of Nagas at stake”.
