Manipur: Thadou Inpi delegation holds peace talks with CSOs in Imphal

In a significant step toward reconciliation and peacebuilding in Manipur, a 16-member delegation from Thadou Inpi Manipur, the apex body representing the Thadou community, arrived in Imphal and is currently holding talks with various civil society organisations (CSOs) and student bodies.

This is the first visit by a Thadou Inpi delegation to Imphal since the outbreak of ethnic unrest in the state in 2023, marking a crucial move toward fostering dialogue and mutual understanding among communities.

The ongoing meeting, being held in Imphal, includes the participation of several prominent CSOs such as the Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI), All Manipur United Clubs Organisation (AMUCO), Federation of civil society organisation (FOCS), Arambai Tenggol, and women’s groups.


Also present are leading student organisations including Democratic Students' Alliance of Manipur (DESAM), Kangleipak Students’ Association (KSA), Students' Union of Kangleipak (SUK), and Apunba Ireipakki Maheiroi Sinpanglup (AIMS) among others.

The primary agenda of the meeting is believed to center on promoting communal harmony and exploring pathways to restore lasting peace in the conflict-hit state.
