# Kuki-Zomi community tensions in Manipur > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/kuki-zomi-community-tensions-in-manipur > Updated: 2026-08-11T15:17:17.000Z. Sources: 4. Developments: 2. Tensions persist in Manipur involving the Kuki-Zomi community and various blockades. The Kuki-Zomi Council (KZC) has accused both central and state governments of discrimination, alleging that authorities prioritize Naga community concerns while ignoring Kuki-Zomi grievances. The KZC cited several issues, including the summoning of villagers by the National Investigation Agency, militant attacks on villages, and a long-standing blockade by the United Naga Council that has caused a humanitarian crisis. In a separate development regarding economic disruptions, the Kuki CSO Working Committee lifted a 16-day counter-economic blockade on National Highway-2. This blockade had been implemented in response to what the committee described as a selective economic blockade targeting the Kuki-Zo community. The lifting of restrictions followed a meeting with a Manipur government delegation, where officials provided assurances regarding the free movement of essential commodities. Following the agreement, hundreds of stranded goods-laden vehicles resumed their journeys. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-11: Kuki-Zomi Council alleges discrimination in Manipur The Kuki-Zomi Council accuses Manipur authorities of discrimination, citing a humanitarian crisis caused by a two-month blockade and unequal treatment compared to the Naga community. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/kuki-zomi-council-alleges-discrimination-in-manipur ### 2026-08-11: Kuki organization lifts economic blockade on Manipur's National Highway-2 The Kuki CSO Working Committee lifted a 16-day economic blockade on Manipur's National Highway-2 following government assurances of free movement for essential goods and improved security. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/kuki-organization-lifts-economic-blockade-on-manipurs-national-highway-2 --- Cite as: Kuki-Zomi community tensions in Manipur.
