The Kuki Students’ Organisation and the Kuki-Zo Women’s Forum Delhi and NCR staged a demonstration at Delhi’s Janta Mantar on Saturday. One of the key demands raised by the protestors is for a separate Union Territory with a legislature for the Kuki areas of Manipur. They issued a formal statement, copies of which would also be sent to the offices of the prime minister and home minister as a charter of demand, and said “The present administrative machinery in Manipur has utterly failed to protect our lives and address our grievances, aspirations and rights”.
