Imphal, October 26 2015:
Taking into account all the undesirable situations that have happened in the land, the United Kuki Liberation Front (UKLF) has decided not to celebrate Chavang Kut this year.
In a statement, I&P secretary of UKLF, MP Haokip said that taking into consideration the sacrifices of nine martyrs from Kuki community who made the supreme sacrifices for the protection of their land and people and whose bodies lie still unclaimed; the Joumol landslide incident and the hardship faced by the people due to rain and flood, it has been decided that this year's Kut be observed in prayer asking the forgiveness of the Almighty instead of celebrations and merrymaking.
It appealed to the people particularly those of Chandel district to hold family prayers on Nov 1 instead of celebrating Kut with pomp and show.
