Kangpokpi, April 14 2024:
The Kuki Inpi South West Sadar Hills (KISWSH) has vehemently opposed the proposed deployment of State forces to escort vehicles along National Highway 37, known as the Imphal-Jiribam Road.
In a strongly worded press release, they have expressed grave concerns over this "deviation from the established security protocol, which has relied on the effective presence of central forces".
KISWSH stated that their apprehension stems from a deep-seated fear that such a drastic change could inflame tensions and endanger the fragile peace that currently prevails along the highway.
As such, they have called for immediate withdrawal of the plan to deploy State forces.
