Six Kuki tribal organizations, including the Kuki Students’ Organisation (KSO), have urged the Meitei community to refrain from crossing the buffer zone into Kuki-Zo-Hmar areas, citing concerns over tensions regarding Ching Kaba at Thangting or Thangjing Hills. The groups emphasized that until a political settlement is reached under the Indian Constitution, any movement into their jurisdiction would be opposed. Meanwhile, curfew in Churachandpur district was relaxed for over 16 hours as law and order improved, following earlier tensions between Zomi and Hmar tribes over community flag hoisting in a disputed area.”
