Three Naga civil society organisations in Manipur have petitioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi, seeking his “personal and urgent intervention” to check a “sustained campaign of violence and territorial aggression” by Kuki groups against Naga villages in the hill districts of the northeastern State.

Urging the Centre to rein in the Kuki armed groups operating under the Suspension of Operations (SoO) arrangement, the organisations sought the Prime Minister’s help to expedite an inclusive and honourable settlement of the Indo-Naga peace process based on the Framework Agreement. The Centre signed this agreement with the National Socialist Council of Nagalim, also called the NSCN (Isak-Muivah).

The memorandum, copies of which were released to the media on Saturday (May 9, 2026) evening, was signed by Ng Lorho, president of the United Naga Council, Ch Priscilla Thumai, president of the Naga Women’s Union, and Th Angtheshang Maring, president of the All Naga Students’ Association, Manipur.
