A dark chapter unfolded today as Indigenous Konsakhul Naga Village faced an unprovoked and brutal attack by armed militants allegedly mobilized more than 1000 assailants by the chiefs of L. Phaijang, L. Munlai, and Haroathel, Kangpokpi District, Manipur. Amidst the ongoing Kuki-Meitei conflict, this act of aggression aims to draw indigenous Naga communities into further turmoil.

It has been reported that, approximately 12:00 noon, heavily armed militants, disguised as civilians, launched a premeditated attack on Konsakhul Village, targeting villagers engaged in their daily activities. The assault resulted in severe injuries and widespread destruction. Meanwhile, the Hon'ble Governor of Manipur, A.K. Bhala, was attending an event at NSU.

The assault, seemingly an assassination attempt on village leaders, left several critically wounded, including Aimson Abonmai, Chief of Konsakhul

&  Adam Dirinamai, Village Chairman is undergoing treatment at RIMS, Imphal and Wilingson Abonmai, Pastor, Konsaram Baptist Church were also brutally assaulted and Ch. Paramchamdin,  A.B. Widinbou, Th. Aloipu were physically attacked all together around ten other villagers suffered grievous injuries.

The four chartered demands made by the landowners of Konsakhul Village Authority must be addressed and brought to justice before 12:00 Noon date 6th April 2025. Failure to do so will result in the launching an indefinite total shutdown in Liangmai inhabited areas of Manipur.

The concerned authorities must take immediate and necessary action to ensure justice is served. Furthermore, the so called chiefs of L. Phaijang, L. Munlai, and Haroathel villages of Kangpokpi District will be held accountable for any untoward incidents that may arise due to their actions. The onus of maintaining peace and order lies with them, The indigenous Liangmai Naga people stands united in its demand for justice and will not hesitate to take necessary steps to protect its land and it's rights.

We call upon the indigenous communities, civil society organizations, and right-thinking citizens of Manipur to unite and take a firm stand against this atrocity. The time has come for us to stand together as one, condemn this injustice, and show our unwavering solidarity.
