An influential Naga organisation has opposed the Manipur government’s decision to set up semi-permanent relief camps in Ukhrul district for people displaced by the ethnic conflict between Meiteis and Kukis in the State since May 3.
Ukhrul district is dominated by the Tangkhuls, one of 20 Naga communities in Manipur.
Quoting a June 9 notification by the State’s Home Department, the Tangkhul Naga Long (TNL) said on July 8 that any semi-permanent relief camp set up and operated in Ukhrul district “must not accommodate the displaced persons from other districts”.
