Imphal, September 11 2025: The Sagolmang Area Naga Students' Association (SANSA) has demanded urgent and complete relocation of Sinai camp, a designated camp of Kuki militant groups under SoO agreement which is located at Sijang, Kangpokpi district under Saikul police station.

SANSA today submitted a memorandum to Union Home Minister Amit Shah through Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla and said that armed Kuki militants operating from the Sinai camp intercepted a passenger bus at Molnom on Sinakeithei-Imphal route, confiscated mobile phones from the passengers to check for recordings of their camp and fired a blank shot, creating panic and terror among innocent civilians.

This was not an isolated case but part of an alarming pattern of intimidation and lawlessness.

Such incidents have rendered this arterial road unsafe for commuters, SANSA said.

It said that passenger vehicles and taxis have ceased plying, crippling the daily lives of a large number of people who solely depend on this route.

Saying that the Sinai Camp is located within the ancestral lands of the Naga people, SANSA asserted that the continued presence of this camp is illegal, unconstitutional and an open affront to the security, dignity and survival of the Naga people.

The existence of other such designated camps in the surrounding areas poses a grave and constant threat to peace, emboldens further acts of intimidation and could result in escalated violence, SANSA said in their memorandum.

It warned that failure to relocate these camps would risk provoking serious communal unrest.

It then demanded immediate and complete relocation of Sinai camp at Sijang along with other such designated camps operating in the surrounding areas.

SANSA also urged the Union Home Minister to deploy adequate neutral security forces to secure the Sinakeithei-Imphal route and guarantee safe passage for civilians.

The memorandum further demanded the Union Home Minister for a written assurance that no militant camp, present or future, shall be allowed to exist within Naga ancestral lands.
