As tensions rise, Meiteis forced to leave Mizoram

Meitei people living and working in Mizoram started exiting the northeastern State on Saturday following a diktat by an organisation of former extremists to leave “for their own safety”.

The Peace Accord MNF Returnees’ Association (PAMRA) had issued a statement on Friday saying Mizoram was no longer safe for the Meiteis in view of the mounting tension following the “barbaric and heinous acts committed by miscreants in Manipur”. Mizos and Kukis are ethnically related, as are the Chins of Myanmar and the Chin-Kukis of Bangladesh.
