For 3 yrs+ Manipur has endured a humanitarian tragedy that continues largely beyond the public gaze.

3/n .. them living together in community halls for 38 months. Today, it is the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and the families of those who lost their loved ones, who bear this painful reality. Their greatest tragedy is not only what they have lost,

3/n The Cobra force of the CRPF has begun well; same could've been done much earlier even by other security forces. Let directives be clear, extended to other Kuki Militant areas - SoO or Non SoO. Anyone with Illegal & Military grade weapons must be DISARMED AT ANY COST.

2/n I've all along been telling people that the root cause of the violence continuing is the large number of Weapons (besides the double & single barrel guns) in the name of Suspension of Operations with the 25 Kuki Militant groups.

facebook.com/share/p/1C92LW… 1/n - This is probably the first and only time in the past 3 yrs that so many weapons have been recovered from the Kuki Militants in the Kangpokpi or other Kuki dominated areas.

2/n Inability to deal with heavily armed Kuki SoO militants gives a very sad & poor reflection of the Govt, Authorities & its Organs. "The Peoples will survive, whichever way". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordian_K…

@debanishachom We've to start thinking about an article 371-X for Manipur too. Otherwise it's a bleak future for the Cocoon

Will Get Special Status And Legislature, Say Ladakh Leaders After Meeting Centre Constitutional protection for Ladakh "on the lines of Articles 371A, 371F and 371G," similar to safeguards available in Nagaland, Sikkim and Mizoram: Ladakh Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Front ndtv.com/india-news/wil… via @ndtv

Leh Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance reached an in-principle understanding with the GoI on restoring democracy in Ladakh and providing constitutional safeguards on the lines of Articles 371A, 371F, and 371G of Nagaland, Sikkim, and Mizoram. facebook.com/share/p/18qRq3…

Manipur's future is bleak, specially for those in the Cocoon. For respectable survival, unlike cockroaches, we need to look at a Special Article 371-X as constructional safeguard. Just as LBA & KDA have sought today. What's in 371-X, can share thoughts with those of open minds.

@iRoopmati Thanks, Shall be rectified 🙏

@ColLimaMike I dont see the name of Temba of Meitei Christian Leikai, Churachandpur. He's been missing since the beginning of conflict from IB Road, Churachandpur.

hinduvoice.in/inside-kangpok… A must read Article by Vldmr_Aditya. Strat Red Flag - Not just availability of weapons But the confidence to display, use them openly. Implies - Rising assertion of non-state armed groups. Larger implication - May turn into a "Timebomb without a Fuse".
