🚨 तीन साल से Manipur जल रहा था — Meitei vs Kuki।
Security Agencies को लग रहा था — शायद संभल जाए।

लेकिन February 2026 में एक नई Fault Line फट गई।

Naga vs Kuki।

17 हिंसक घटनाएं।
करीब एक दर्जन मौतें।
44 लोग Hostage — दोनों तरफ से।
6 Naga Men अभी भी लापता।
14 Kuki अभी भी Naga कैद में।

Security की पहली Priority shift हो गई —
"Meitei-Kuki से Naga-Kuki"।

यह सिर्फ दो tribes की लड़ाई नहीं है।
यह है Land, Resources, NSCN का टूटना,
और Manipur के नए CM को Destabilize
करने की साजिश।

ThePrint की Ground Report से पूरी कहानी।

📌 KEY FACTS — NAGA-KUKI FAULT LINE 2026

📊 NUMBERS
✅ Incidents since February 2026: At least 17
✅ Deaths: Close to a dozen — both sides
✅ Hostages at peak: 44 — Nagas and Kukis on both sides
✅ Still missing: 6 Naga men (held by Kukis)
✅ Still held: 14 Kukis (held by Nagas)
✅ Security shift: "Focus has now shifted from
Meitei-Kuki to Naga-Kuki" — senior security official

🔥 HOW IT STARTED
✅ February 7, 2026 — Litan village, Ukhrul district
✅ A Naga teacher saw Kuki youths drinking —
asked them to stop — altercation followed
✅ Next day: Armed Tangkhuls torched Kuki village
✅ Then: Cycle of abductions, hostage crises,
village burning began
✅ Escalated to: Rongmei, Liangmai, Zeliang tribes —
beyond just Tangkhul Nagas

🌍 WHY NAGAS JOINED NOW
✅ Land insecurity: Kukis demanding separate
administration — Nagas fear it means
Kukis claiming Naga land
✅ Resource pressure: Displaced Kukis moved
to Naga hills — competing for same resources
✅ "25 years ago, Kukis paid taxes to Nagas
acknowledging they lived in Naga areas.
Now they are no longer doing that."
— Senior police officer
✅ Wangli-Dimapur road: New trade + smuggling
corridor — both communities want control

⚔️ NSCN SPLIT FACTOR
✅ NSCN(IM) vs Eastern Flank (split April 2024)
✅ Both factions trying to establish dominance
in Naga-dominated areas
✅ March 28, 2026: NSCN(IM) ambushed Eastern Flank
in Hongbei village, Kamjong — 4 killed
✅ 3 days later: Mobs vandalised homes of
top NSCN(IM) leaders in Ukhrul
✅ Including home of V.S. Atem — deputy of
NSCN(IM) general secretary Thuingaleng Muivah

💬 BOTH SIDES' POSITIONS
✅ UNC (Naga): "Kukis repaid our hospitality
with bullets — playing victim while being aggressor"
— A.C. Thotso, UNC working committee secretary
✅ KNO (Kuki): "Feb 7 was two drunk men fighting.
Both wanted to resolve it. But next day armed
Tangkhuls torched our village."
— Selien Haokip, KNO spokesperson
✅ KNO's theory: "Some Nagas being instigated by
Meiteis — Kukis and Nagas have coexisted for
generations"

🏛️ POLITICAL ANGLE
✅ "Violence decreased during President's Rule —
but suddenly after new government formed,
it has reared its head again"
— Senior state government official
✅ Section of government sees it as attempt to
destabilise CM Yumnam Khemchand Singh's government
✅ CM Singh and Deputy CM Losii Dikho (a Naga)
