Tengnoupal DC, SP becoming trouble makers, says Kuki Inpi Tengnoupal

The Kuki Inpi Tengnoupal (KIT) on Thursday alleged that the District Administration and the Police, instead of solving the grievances of the general public, have became the trouble makers by imposing unnecessary curfews, releasing fake propagandas through media and harassing the tribal inhabitants of the district on daily basis.

In a statement issued on Thursday, KIT asserted that Moreh town and Tengnoupal district as a whole is already peaceful. But, the Deputy Commissioner and Superintendent of Police have been trying their level best to show the situation as otherwise so that they could bring in more State forces to commit genocide on the Kuki-Zo community. Their aim is to let the Meitei militants burn the houses of Kukis, their churches and destroy the villages, with the help of State forces like the Meitei Police commandos, Meitei IRB and other Meitei officials, it alleged.

"While many unlawful incidents involving the State police commandos in Moreh town had already been highlighted by the Kuki CSOs in Moreh, it also came to light that on the night of October 24, 2023, the Police Commandos were caught trying to meet Meitei terrorists based in Tamu areas of Myanmar, which is a huge threat to our national security," KIT said.

It also mentioned that on September 8, 2023, the Police CDOs along with the Meitei terrorist groups, masquerading as Police CDO, had attacked the Kuki-Zo villages of Molnoi area, Tengnoupal district. On that incident, the Tengnoupal district SP was seen escorting and helping those terrorists who had attacked the Kuki-Zo villagers.

"Amidst all such crimes, the District Administration issued an order to cease all vehicles plying without registration number plates and also shortened the curfew relaxation hours in Moreh town," it stated.

The KIT asked Tengnoupal DC whether he would enable obtaining registration number plates for all the vehicles in Tengnoupal district from DTO Imphal and other valley areas. Instead, it said, the Deputy Commissioner should make first the DTO office functional at Tengnoupal district headquarter.

Since the Tengnoupal DC and SP are acting as interested abettors in several unwanted incidents, the people of Tengnoupal have completely lost their trust on the present district administration, KIT said.

The Kuki apex body warned that the DC and SP of Tengnoupal will be held responsible if any unwanted incident occurs on the peaceful women protesters of the district, due to the action of the district administration in any form. KIT also appealed to the Union Home Minister, Amit Shah, for his intervention regarding the people's grievances.
