Manipur home minister says the Suspension of Operations pact with Kuki militant groups has not been extended as security forces intensify a crackdown after three Meitei youths were killed. The October 19 ambush at the Sunurok hill range, along the Imphal East–Kangpokpi border, killed three Meitei. Manipur’s SoO pact with Kuki-Zo groups remains unextended a month after expiry as security upgrades and political visits unfold.
