# COCOMI, UNC endorse October 31 rally for SoO abrogation 2026-10-27T17:51:42+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets The Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI), along with tribal bodies including the Joint Tribe Council, will hold a mass rally in Imphal on 31 October demanding abrogation of the Suspension of Operations (SoO) agreement, an end to the conflict, and rehabilitation of internally displaced persons. COCOMI convenor Y.K. Dhiren announced the rally at a press conference on Tuesday. The United Naga Council (UNC) has endorsed the rally for the first time, calling for maximum Naga participation. The UNC stated that Kuki militant groups operating under the SoO pact have unleashed a reign of terror and that the Assam Rifles have been perceived as partisan. The council has also called for the removal of Assam Rifles from Manipur and its replacement with neutral central forces. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All three outlets report the rally announcement and UNC endorsement in straight, wire-style language. Indiatodayne.in sticks to COCOMI’s own framing, ThePrint adds the UNC’s allegations against Kuki militants and Assam Rifles, while Ukhrul Times reproduces the UNC appeal verbatim. No outlet challenges or contextualises the claims. The uniform coverage reflects a shared reliance on official statements from COCOMI and the UNC, leaving the substantive questions about the SoO pact’s status and the security forces’ role unexamined. The next concrete step is the 31 October rally in Imphal. ## Coverage Coverage: 3 sources, 3 neutral - indiatodayne.in (neutral report) Straight announcement coverage, quotes COCOMI convenor without commentary. - theprint.in (neutral report) Presents UNC endorsement and allegations against Kuki groups and Assam Rifles without editorialising. - ukhrultimes.com (neutral report) Wire-style report reproducing UNC appeal and COCOMI background without slant.
