Tribal body threatens to shut government offices in Manipur’s Churachandpur

A day after two people were killed in Manipur’s Churachandpur district during protests against the suspension of a Kuki-Zo head constable, the Indigenous Tribal Leaders’ Forum (ITLF) on February 16 issued an ultimatum to the district Superintendent of Police, Shivanand Surve, and District Collector S. Dharun Kumar to “leave the district within 24 hours”.

The ITLF, representing tribal associations in Churachandpur district, threatened to shut all government offices if these officials did not move out. The duo would be responsible if anything untoward were to happen to them, the forum said.
