Hundreds of protesters in Ukhrul, Manipur, led by the Tangkhul Naga Long, have demanded an end to ethnic strife and the abrogation of the Status Quo pact.
A significant public demonstration was held in Ukhrul district of Manipur, where hundreds of people gathered to voice their concerns regarding the ongoing ethnic tensions in the state. The rally was specifically organized to demand a definitive end to the communal strife that has affected the region.
The protest was spearheaded by the Tangkhul Naga Long (TNL), acting in coordination with various Tangkhul frontal organizations. These groups operated under the broader aegis of the United Naga Council (UNC), highlighting a unified front among the community leaders.
A key demand raised during the rally was the abrogation of the Status Quo (So) pact. The participants argued that this agreement has not resolved the underlying issues and called for its repeal to pave the way for a more equitable resolution to the conflict.
The event underscores the continued political and social mobilization in Manipur as local communities seek tangible changes in the administrative and legal frameworks governing the region's ethnic dynamics.
