Apex body of Kuki tribes calls for 12-hour shutdown over arrest of village volunteers in Manipur

Five Kuki-Zo individuals were arrested by security forces in Manipur between Monday and Tuesday, with the police alleging that three of them were members of an underground outfit.

Following this, the Kuki Inpi Manipur, an apex body of Kuki tribes in Manipur, called for a 12-hour shutdown across all tribal-dominated districts on Wednesday.

On Monday, security forces arrested two persons named Lunjakap Guite and Kaplal Singson from Phaitol village in Tamenglong district.
