Kuki-Zos demand separation from Manipur and a Union Territory with legislature, KZC leader Ginza Vuelzong told The Indian Express. This follows PM Modi's visit to Churachandpur, Manipur on – his first since ethnic conflict began in. Vuelzong said peace needs a political solution, as Kuki-Zos and Meiteis are now divided. He noted only ₹23 crore of ₹8,500 crore announced projects were for Kuki-Zo areas. KZC rejected stronger local governance, saying separation is the only option after being driven out of Imphal valley. Vuelzong hopes for political dialogue soon, following a agreement between SoO groups and the government. (Updated 16 Sep 2025, 07:09 IST; source: link)
