The Story in Brief
A Naga villager was shot dead and three others were injured in a fresh attack this morning at Langka Naga village in Manipur's Kuki-dominant district, about 45 km from state capital Imphal. The violence comes amid repeated calls for peace in the conflict-hit region.
NDTV reports that the attack targeted the village in the Kuki-majority area, though no group has claimed responsibility. The incident underscores the continued ethnic tensions between Naga and Kuki communities in Manipur, where sporadic violence has persisted despite government efforts to restore order.
The Indian Opinion
Every fresh killing in Manipur is met with hand-wringing and peace calls, but the actual ceasefire or dialogue never follows. Both sides accuse the other of starting it, while the security forces appear reactive, not preventive. The real test is not another appeal for calm but a concrete, time-bound confidence-building measure, say, a joint patrolling by Naga and Kuki representatives alongside the army. Until that happens, the cycle of attack and counter-attack will continue.
