Naga People’s Organisation Condemns Kuki-Zo Shutdown, Warns Govt of Consequences if Shutdown Not Lifted in 24 Hours

NPO Condemns Kuki-Zo Shutdown, warned the government to lift the shutdown within 24 hours or face consequences.
The Naga People’s Organisation (NPO) has strongly condemned the ongoing indefinite total shutdown in Kuki-Zo-dominated areas, now in its fifth day, and has demanded its immediate withdrawal.
In a press release, the NPO warned the government to lift the shutdown within 24 hours or face consequences. The organization expressed deep concern over the severe hardships faced by the public, including disruptions to daily life, livelihoods, and access to essential services.
The indefinite shutdown was triggered by the brutal killing of a young man at Keithelmanbi Military Colony in Kangpokpi district on March 8. Since the incident, the victim’s body remains unclaimed at the Kangpokpi District Hospital Morgue, while Kuki-Zo women have been holding continuous condolence vigils across the district.
The NPO urged authorities to take immediate steps to restore normalcy, warning that if the situation persists, the Naga people may be forced to take their own course of action, including legal measures.
The shutdown has paralyzed commercial activities, with shops closed and several trucks stranded in Senapati district. Meanwhile, Kuki-Zo women continue to enforce strict vehicle movement regulations in Kangpokpi, allowing only emergency services to pass.
