The high-level talks between the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and representatives of Kuki-Zo armed groups were held at New Delhi on 6-7 November 2025.
According to sources, the Centre has rejected the demand of the Kuki-Zo community for a Union Territory with a Legislature Assembly in Manipur stating that the current policy does not support the creation of new Union Territories.
The communication was exchanged during high-level talks between the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and representatives of Kuki-Zo armed groups under Suspension of Operation (SoO)—the Kuki National Organisation (KNO) and the United People’s Front (UPF)
The KNO and UPF delegations have urged the Centre to reconsider its position.
