MHA yet to extend Suspension of Operations pact with Kuki-Zo groups a month after expiry

SUMMARY
The MHA has not renewed the Suspension of Operations (SoO) agreement with Kuki-Zo militant groups in Manipur, which expired over a month ago. The SoO pact, a ceasefire deal between the Indian government and Kuki insurgent groups, was first signed in 2008 to maintain peace. Its lapse raises concerns amid ongoing ethnic violence between Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities in Manipur since May 2023. Kuki-Zo groups fear this signals a shift in government policy, potentially escalating tensions. The Manipur government had earlier distanced itself from the pact, citing changed ground realities.
