Manipur remembers victims on second anniversary of ethnic conflict
GUWAHATI: Manipur remembered the victims of the bloody ethnic conflict on its second anniversary on Saturday by organising different programmes in the Imphal Valley and the Kuki hills. People observed a shutdown in the Meitei-majority Imphal Valley responding to the call of an organisation, Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) to attend a public convention. A similar shutdown was observed in the Kuki hills at the call of two Kuki-Zo student organisations. COCOMI organised the public convention at the Khuman Lampak Main Stadium in Imphal, where a large number of people turned up. The speakers, including scholars, eminent personalities and leaders of civil society organisations, called for peace, justice, resolution of the conflict and protection of the states territorial integrity. The Kuki-Zo tribals marked the day as Separation Day. The Indigenous Tribal Leaders Forum organised a programme at the Wall of Remembrance in Churachandpur district in memory of the victims. A large number of people, including leaders from various civil society organisations, attended the event. The Kukis had raised pitch for separate administration for the community following the outbreak of the ethnic violence and they have stuck to this demand. Security was tightened in different parts of the state. However, no untoward incident was reported. The ethnic violence had erupted on May 3, 2023, after a solidarity march which was taken out in the hill districts by tribals protesting the state governments alleged move to grant Scheduled Tribe status to the majority Meitei community. The violence left over 250 people dead and some 60,000 others displaced. A large majority of the displaced people are lodged in the relief camps even as the state continues to remain ethnically partitioned. Meiteis and Kuki-Zo tribals still cannot go to each others areas. On March 8 this year, the Centre had attempted to ensure free movement despite opposition from Kuki-Zo tribals. The government operated a state-run bus, but the protestors attacked it in the Kangpokpi district, leading to violence in which one person was killed and several others were injured. Presidents rule was imposed in the state on February 13 this year after BJP had failed to reach a consensus on a successor for N Biren Singh, who stepped down as Chief Minister on February 9, a day before his government was due to face a no-confidence motion and a floor test. Recently, 21 ruling NDA MLAs had written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah demanding the immediate installation of a popular government in the state. They said people had welcomed the Presidents rule with a lot of expectations but even after more than two and half months, there were no visible actions to restore peace and normalcy.

Manipur's anguish continues, no reconciliation process underway: Congress slams PM Modi, HM Shah
NEW DELHI: The Congress on Saturday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi continues to shun Manipur and Union Home Minister Amit Shah proved to be a ig failure in managing the situation in the state which has been in the grip of ethnic strife since 2023. Congress General Secretary In-charge, Communications, Jairam Ramesh said the BJP formed a government in Manipur with a massive mandate in February 2022, and exactly two years ago today, the state erupted in sectarian violence. What began on May 3, 2023, therefore, was the self-dictated, self-directed derailment of the so-called double engine sarkar in the state. Three months later, the Supreme Court was compelled to declare that there had been an absolute breakdown of Constitutional machinery in the state, Ramesh said on X. Exactly two years ago today Manipur erupted. This calamity overtook it after the people of the state had given a decisive mandate to the BJP and its allies in the assembly elections in February 2022. What began on May 3, 2023, therefore, was the self-dictated, self-directed Jairam Ramesh (@Jairam_Ramesh) May 3, 2025 Faced with a no-confidence motion to be moved by the Congress in the state assembly, the Modi government forced the CM to resign and finally imposed President's Rule on February 13, 2025 - twenty months after the people demanded it, he said. The anguish and suffering of Manipur continues. Political games are being played. No worthwhile reconciliation process is underway. Over 60,000 internally displaced persons continue to live in relief camps in conditions of great stress, Ramesh said. Most importantly, the PM continues to avoid and shun Manipur. He has met with nobody from the state. He has gone all over the world but has not found the time nor the inclination, nor the sensitivity to visit the troubled state and reach out to the people there, he said. The Home Minister to whom the PM has outsourced management of Manipur has proved to be a ig failure, Ramesh alleged. Manipur deserves better. The people of Manipur are waiting for the PM to arrive in Imphal and go around the beautiful state and extend the healing touch - at least to the extent that he is capable of doing so, the Congress general secretary said. More than 220 people have been killed and thousands rendered homeless in ethnic violence between Imphal Valley-based Meiteis and adjoining hills-based Kuki-Zo groups since May 2023.
Manipur Shutdown Marks 2 Years of Ethnic Conflict and Ongoing Suffering
HT Digital IMPHAL, MAY 3: A state-wide shutdown brought Manipur to a complete standstill on Saturday, marking two years since violent ethnic clashes broke out between the Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities. The conflict, which erupted in May 2023, has left over 260 people dead, more than 1,500 injured, and over 70,000 displaced from their homes. []
Two years on, Manipurs displaced families still await return amid fragile peace
IMPHAL: From running a successful business to no income and three children to support, G Kipgen is waiting to return to his home in Imphal amidst a sense of despair. But he is not alone, there are many like him. The devastating impact of the ethnic conflict that rocked Manipur two years ago is still being felt, with thousands of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) continuing to live in overcrowded camps waiting and hoping to return to their homes amidst fragile peace. I used to run a successful coaching institute in Imphal. Its all gone now. With no source of income and three children, I am worried about their future. I cant focus on anything. What is even more concerning is that there is no sign of how things will get better, an emotional Kipgen said. Over 260 people have been killed, 1,500 injured, and over 70,000 people displaced after the ethnic violence broke out between the Meitei and the Kuki-Zo people on May 3, 2023. Despite the sacking of controversial Chief Minister N Biren Singh for ot being able to handle the situation, and the imposition of Presidents rule in February this year, peace remains a far cry. My greatest worry is the future of my two little children, said Abung, a Meitei IDP from Churachandpur district who is staying in a prefabricated home in Bishnupur district. Earlier, I had a thriving grocery business. While living in a prefabricated home is better than staying in a relief camp, it doesnt compare to the freedom and happiness of living in ones own home, he added. As the IDPs struggle to rebuild their lives from the trauma of displacement, civil society organisations on both sides continue to hold firm to their demands. While hill-based Kukis call for a separate administration, the Meiteis, who are in the majority in Imphal valley, seek implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC), and the deportation of those they consider illegal immigrants. Despite monitoring by central and state authorities to control violence and improve the lives of the affected, there is growing frustration among the general public. The IDPs, whether Meitei or Kuki, have voiced deep insecurity about their families future and are grappling with severe psychological distress. Manipur tightens security ahead of second anniversary of ethnic violence Many remain unable to comprehend how they suddenly became victims of hate and anger. The government and NGOs imparted skill training to IDPs to make them employable, but these initiatives have done little to ease their emotional burden. Abenao Devi, living in a prefabricated home in Imphal, said, In the first few months after the violence broke out, there was significant community support, and provisions arrived on time. But gradually, weve been forgotten. Often, we have to depend on the mercy of others for basic needs. It is humiliating. The IDPs are doing odd jobs they never imagined doing before, she said adding both the central and state governments are unable to curb hostilities and restore normalcy even after two years. A central security agency official claimed: The most problematic and worrisome aspect of this two-year-long conflict is that armed groups and their associates have taken control of the respective communities. They are pushing their agenda ignoring the suffering of ordinary people, particularly the IDPs. He added, There has also been a massive rise in extortion by armed outfits in the Imphal valley and illegal taxation along highways passing through Kuki-majority areas. Several previously defunct militant outfits have been revitalised, recruiting mostly unemployed, poorly educated youth.

As we observe May 3 this year and pray for peace, we honour the memory of those who have fallen victim to the tragic violence and extend our deepest empathy to the survivors and their families, the tribal organisation said in a statement.
