Imphal, October 17 2018:
The 13th raising day of United Minority Liberation Army (UMLA) of KNO, was held at Hermon camp, Chehlep village, Tengnoupal district, today.
Speaking at the event, UMLA chief in-command K Khaling said that the political dialogue which is under way between the organisation and the State and Central Governments has reached the stage of establishment of a Kuki territorial council.
Pointing out that the group's earlier demand was for the creation of a Kuki State, Khaling explained that the point regarding the establishment of a Kuki territorial council came up following a proposal from the State and the Central Governments.
The creation of the council will not harm the integrity of Manipur in any way, he added.
