Imphal: The Sadar Hills Chiefs' Association (SAHILCA) on Thursday announced a complete ban on all govt-initiated activities and programmes in Kuki-Zo inhabited areas of Kangpokpi district, further deepening the ethnic tension in Manipur. In a press statement, SAHILCA declared a "complete ban on all activities undertaken by the forest department of the govt of Manipur within the district" and instructed the department to immediately halt all operations in the region. Furthermore, SAHILCA said they will oppose any govt programmes or initiatives in Kuki-Zo areas of Kangpokpi, adding that such activities should not resume until the conflict is peacefully resolved.
