Kuki MLAs Write To PM, Want Separate Top Officials For Tribal Districts

The five districts for which they have raised this demand are Churachandpur, Kangpokpi, Chandel, Tengnoupal, and Pherzawl.

Ten MLAs from the Kuki tribe have written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi asking for a separate chief secretary and DGP for the Kuki-tribe-dominated hills areas in Manipur.

The 10 Kuki MLAs, including seven from the BJP, submitted a memorandum to PM Modi on Wednesday, requesting that "posts equivalent to Chief Secretary and DGP" be established in the five hill districts of the state to ensure "efficient administration" in the wake of the state's three-month ethnic violence.

The five districts for which they have raised this demand are Churachandpur, Kangpokpi, Chandel, Tengnoupal, and Pherzawl.
