Guwahati: The Kuki Inpi Manipur has issued a public appeal note, announcing the designation of May 3 as ‘Kuki-Zo Awakening Day’. This decision follows a recent meeting held by the organisation.
The decision was made through an executive resolution dated April 26, 2024.
The Kuki Inpi Manipur urged all concerned bodies, authorities of the Kuki-Zo people, and the general public to observe May 3, 2024, under the theme “Kuki-Zo Awakening Day.”
May 3, 2024, it said, symbolises the first anniversary of the ethnic genocide inflicted upon the Kuki-Zo people by the majority of Meiteis.
