Four Naga villages attacked in Manipur, pastor shot at
Normal life affected across Imphal Valley as pro-NRC group enforces shutdown despite the Centre deferring the Census operation in State
On September 1, 2026, unknown extremists launched coordinated attacks on four Liangmai Naga villages situated along the Imphal-Tamenglong Road in Manipur's Kangpokpi district. This attack occurred just hours after the brutal killings of three Kuki villagers in the same vicinity, leaving a trail of violence and unrest.
The Ukhrul-headquartered Working Committee of the Tangkhul Naga Long (TNL), the community's apex body, took swift action to finger the Kuki National Front-Presidential (KNF-P) as the masterminds behind the attacks. They alleged that the KNF-P had colluded with the Kuki National Army (KNA) to carry out the heinous acts of violence.
The sudden surge in attacks has raised concerns among the local population and the authorities, who are now scrambling to assess the situation and ensure the safety of the affected Naga villages. As the nation watches closely, the tragic incident serves as a grim reminder of the deep-seated tensions and unrest that continue to plague Manipur, a state in northeastern India.
