In Manipur, protesters blocked the Imphal-Dimapur road at Namdilong village, demanding the immediate release of six Naga civilians abducted by Kuki militants on May 13, 2026. The protest, organized by the Koubrou Range Liangmei Women's Union, highlighted the community's frustration over the perceived inaction of both the State and Central governments. Local resident Chunjaioiu expressed deep concern for the hostages, noting that of the 18 initially abducted, only 12 had been released. Despite ongoing protests, she criticized the lack of a concrete government response and emphasized the need for clarity regarding the hostages' fate. Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand's visit to the families has not alleviated fears, as no information about the remaining hostages has been provided. The protesters have vowed to continue their demonstrations until the six individuals are either released or their whereabouts confirmed, warning that failure to act may escalate tensions further. They seek peace and justice, urging immediate government intervention to resolve the crisis.
