KANGPOKPI, Dec 11 : In a united condemnation, all major Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) of Sadar Hills have announced their decision to abstain from participating in the official welcome ceremony of the President of India to Senapati on December 12.
The joint CSOs including Kuki Inpi Sadar Hills (KISH), Committee on Tribal Unity (CoTU), Sadar Hills Chief Association (SAHILCA), Thadou-Inpi Sadar Hills and Kuki-Zo IDPs, under the aegis of Kuki Inpi Sadar Hills, expressed disappointment that the President’s itinerary makes no mention of meeting the displaced Kuki-Zo families in Kangpokpi district.
According to the CSOs, thousands of Kuki-Zo individuals remain confined to makeshift relief camps across Kangpokpi district, surviving in deteriorated and overcrowded conditions.
Despite this humanitarian crisis, the organisations said the President’s visit “completely overlooks the suffering, trauma, and unresolved plight of the internally displaced people (IDPs) in Kangpokpi.” They said the absence of any effort to assess, acknowledge, or even symbolically recognise the pain of the displaced community has triggered widespread anguish among the victims and those advocating for their welfare.
Calling the exclusion “deeply regrettable,” the CSOs have collectively resolved to abstain from all participation in the official welcoming programme of the President’s visit.
