Amid fresh unrest in Manipur, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and the State government on Friday (May 1, 2026) resumed talks with Kuki-Zo insurgent groups who are in a suspension of operations (SoO) pact with the government.
The dialogue, which resumed after a gap of two months, is significant as it was also attended by Manipur government officials — the first such meeting after an elected government under Chief Minister Y. Khemchand Singh was restored in Manipur on February 4.
