Manipur's civil society groups, under the umbrella of the Coordination Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI), plan to demonstrate in Thoubal on Thursday, drawing attention to the state's pressing issues.
The protest aligns with Khongjom Day, honoring Manipuri heroes from the Anglo-Manipuri War, while highlighting government lapses in managing ethnic violence since May 2023.
With over 260 fatalities in the ongoing conflict between Meiteis and Kukis, COCOMI seeks accountability from state leadership as public trust wanes.
