Songpi: April 17, 2026
Thanglenmang Doungel, a Kuki farmer from Mongjang village, was injured on Friday after Tangkhul Kacha-Naga militants and their volunteers attacked him in Ukhrul district. Local sources said the assault occurred while Doungel and his family were working in their field, marking another incident of violence against Kuki civilians in the conflict-affected hill district.
Doungel was rushed for medical treatment, though the extent of his injuries was not immediately known. The attack has renewed concerns over the safety of Kuki civilians in Ukhrul, with residents calling for immediate security deployment to prevent further targeting of unarmed villagers engaged in agricultural work.
The attack has again raised the same question among villagers: why do Tangkhul militants of the NSCN-IM and their volunteers always attack civilians? Many are asking if they are really afraid to face the Kuki army, and instead choose to target unarmed farmers and villagers. Locals called the attacks on civilians by the Tangkhul Kacha-Naga militants of the NSCN-IM shameful and condemned the act. Authorities have not issued any statement on the motive behind the assault.
