Guwahati, May 17 -- The Kuki community from Manipur has announced its decision that it will cease all engagement with the central government until the central government initiates a "substantive political dialogue" with various stakeholders within their society.

A closed-door meeting held in Guwahati on Friday reached this resolution.

The gathering included several Kuki Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) from Manipur, along with representatives from various Kuki civil society organizations (CSOs) and Kuki militant groups that are currently under Suspension of Operation (SoO) agreements with the government.

The meeting aimed to strategize their future course of action as peace gradually returns to Manipur.
