Tribal forum calls for President’s rule in Manipur amid violence against Kuki-Zo ethnic group

Members of the Joint Unau Tribal Forum, Hyderabad, demanded immediate imposition of President’s rule in Manipur in the context of rampant violence against the ethnic Kuki-Zo tribal group.

Besides taking over law and order in the hilly state, the Centre should dismiss the government of Manipur which has failed to control violence for the past month, demanded members of the forum during a protest demonstration held at Dharna Chowk near Indira Park on Saturday.

About 500 members of the forum, representing the Kuki, Zomi, Mizo and Chin tribal groups, staged a sit-in wearing traditional attire and holding placards against the violence.
