In Unrest-Impacted Manipur, Youth Join Village Protection Forces to Ensure Safety

In Unrest-Impacted Manipur, Youth Join Village Protection Forces to Ensure Safety Every day in shifts, morning and night, a group of armed youngsters patrol roads around Manipur's Koutruk village. Their objective: Keep residents safe from the warring factions of Meitei and Kuki, two communities that have been in conflict since last year. These youngsters, mostly in their late 20s and early 30s, identify themselves as volunteers and say they have taken up the responsibility to keep their own safe as security forces ''could not do enough to protect us''. Kotruk in the Imphal Valley is one of the many villages in the state that is ''protected'' by such groups which identify themselves as ''Village Volunteers'', ''Village Volunteer Force'', ''Village Defence Force'' and ''Village Protection Force''. These groups, officials say, are not associated with any security agency or the armed forces. Trained in basic combat tactics, the village forces have vowed to keep their areas safe from the ethnic violence that has left many dead, injured and displaced. Their presence in villages in the valley and Churachandpur in the hills cannot be missed. They are in uniform and can be spotted manning bunkers made of sandbags or patrolling with weapons, including sticks, batons and rifles -- some country-made, and some stolen or smuggled. Patrolling duties are assigned through a roster system. Each shift is between six and seven hours with small groups of five to six sent out to keep a watch on highways, village roads and narrow pathways that pass through hills and dense forests. ''Clearly our (security) forces could not do enough to protect us. Now, we know that they cannot be trusted with the task of ensuring our safety. So, we had to do it ourself and we decided to take up the task according to our calibre and capacity...we were forced to take matters into our own hands,'' a village volunteer told PTI on the condition of anonymity. Though patrolling is effective, drones allowed teams to keep a vigil on a wider area, he said. ''Earlier, we were operating drones to keep a vigil but now jammers have been installed by the central forces and, so, we cannot assess the situation that way,'' the volunteer said. This PTI reporter visited a camp of these volunteers, most of whom earned their living from farming. There are also those who have left their jobs or studies for the security of their villages. They showed this reporter the bullet holes on walls of houses and the measures in place to thwart threats. As some volunteers prepared for the morning patrol, others, including women from displaced families that now reside in relief camps, attend to daily tasks, including cooking meals. Recalling an incident of violence, another volunteer said, ''We were having dinner when bullets started raining from above (hills)... we could hear it but we thought we are safe inside. But a bullet pierced through our wall...luckily my father escaped it.'' ''The next morning, we decided to send women, the elderly and children to the relief camps in the valley and decided to set up our bunkers,'' he said. On their training, another village volunteer said, ''It varied from 20 days to up to two months, including training in basic NCC skills. Some training in country-made weapons too''. He refused to comment on who trained them. Local officials maintain caution, allowing their activities as long as they ''remain peaceful''. ''We do recognise their presence...we do not object unless they come with weapons in front of security forces or government officials because then we are bound to ask for a (firearm) licence and take action under the Arms Act. As long as they are guarding peacefully, we do not interfere,'' an official said requesting anonymity. Areas in the hills and the valley have been marked following the ethnic violence -- some local describe it as ''new borders''. And, keeping a vigil on these borders are these volunteers, who screen passing vehicles and occasionally frisk people to prevent ''unwanted intrusions''. Be it at the border between Bishnupur and Churachandpur, or Imphal West and Kangpokpi, the situation remains precarious, with checkpoints resembling those at boundaries between hostile nations. These volunteers, numbering more than 50,000 in Meitei-dominated regions and more in Kuki areas, operate under commanders. Kukis and Meities cannot travel between the hills and the valley. Others such as Nagas and Muslims can move between the regions provided they pass certain checks. They are given an escort from the border checkpoints. This PTI reporter, who travelled to Churachandpur earlier this month, was stopped at four of these checkpoints. She was asked many questions, including where she was going, whom she was meeting and whether the person she was meeting was a government official or a civil society group leader. ''We stop every vehicle and ask for their ID. We maintain a register of who is visiting and for what purpose. We keep a vigil to ensure that no Meiti gets to enter the hills. Meitie volunteers do the same,'' a volunteer at the Bishnupur checkpoint said. The region remains on the edge with even a small incident such as sporadic clashes between volunteer groups capable of tipping it over. More so as security agencies are yet to recover all the firearms looted during the violence last year that left 200 dead and displaced 60,000 people.

Manipur: A Year of Strife and Division

Manipur: A Year of Strife and Division Manipuris can point to the day their homeland became a state divided and society was pulled apart, separating families and neighbours who had lived together for generations and upending thousands of lives. It was exactly a year ago. May 3, 2023. The date is imprinted on the collective memory of an entire people who mark the day two Manipurs came into being, divided as it were by a virtual line of control. That was the day a 'Tribal Solidarity March' organised in the hill districts to protest against the Meitei community's demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status led to ethnic clashes between the Meitei and the Kuki communities. The conflict, which has impacted everyday life in myriad ways, has claimed more than 200 lives and displaced many thousands. The three main ethnic groups in the northeast state have historically clustered in different parts of the state's geography - the Meiteis in the valley, the Kukis in the southern hills and the Nagas in the northern hills. But there has never been an absolute, hostile segregation of the communities. Until last May. Now, the Meiteis population is concentrated in Imphal Valley and the Kukis have shifted to the hills. Nothing illustrates the state's deep ethnic fault lines better than the bordering areas dividing the plain and hill districts. Concertina coils, armoured vehicles, armed security personnel, sandbag bunkers... The checkpoints, be it at the border between Bishnupur and Kuki dominated Churachandpur, or Meitei controlled Imphal West and Kuki area Kangpokpi, almost resemble boundaries between hostile nations. The conflict has segregated not just civil society but also police personnel and government officials. ''The state has gone back at least by two decades,'' said an official, echoing what many of his colleagues say. Police personnel and those from forces belonging to either the Meitei or the Kuki communities are also confined to their respective areas and cannot commute to the other side. Keeping vigil at these checkpoints are not just the forces but a battery of ''village volunteers'' mostly in their 20s and early 30s who claim to have taken up arms to ensure their families remain safe. ''There are forces but we do not trust that their presence is enough. If it was enough we would not have seen this situation in the first place. We had to take the issue in our hands to ensure our loved ones don't become part of the government statistics of casualties,'' a village volunteer on night vigil told PTI on condition of anonymity. The volunteer left his graduate studies midway last May and sought basic training of using weapons. Questioned about the gun he was carrying, he responded, ''It is a licensed weapon. We refused to surrender it before elections.'' While the travel from hills to the Valley and vice-versa is restricted for people from the other community, non Kuki and non Meitei people are able to travel provided they pass certain checks. For every such check, the outsiders, essentially government officials and press reporters, have to rely on an aide who is either a Naga or a Muslim. This PTI reporter travelled to Churachandpur and was stopped at four checkpoints. At each, volunteers asked who I was going to meet. Details, copy of the ID and local address were taken down meticulously. Nagas and Muslims commuting between the two areas are mandated by the volunteers to make a donation, irrespective of the amount. The continuing tensions have a ripple effect, affecting people in ways big and small. With facilities in Imphal out of reach, people from Churachandpur have been travelling to Aizawl - a journey of over 12 hours - for a variety of reasons, including medical needs that cannot be met in the Churachandpur district hospital. The process to catch a flight is similar as the Imphal airport remains out of bound for the Kukis. Groceries for relief camps in Churachandpur are also transported to Churachandpur through the same route. Students are another casualty. College students that stayed back in Churachandpur rather than seek a transfer to universities outside the state, an option provided by the University Grants Commission (UGC), have to deposit their answer sheets in sealed envelopes at the District Commissioner's Office; their fingers crossed their papers will be marked and not get lost. The DC office in tandem with Assam Rifles sends these envelopes to colleges in the Valley in helicopters. ''All the teachers in the university are Meitei now and they are not marking our answer sheets submitted online giving vague responses. Our batchmates are not sharing notes and we have no way to carry forward our education in the state. The only feasible way out is to go out of the state but I do not want to abandon my family,'' a law student told PTI on condition of anonymity. Meiteis, who account for about 53 per cent of Manipurs population, displaced from the hills and now living in relief camps have their own issues. Their houses no longer exist. ''It takes decades to build a life, a house, livelihood...everything is gone. We just keep getting to know from our previous neighbours who are Nagas that our house is no longer there,'' said Sim Khang, a Meitei who used to run a transport business in Churachandpur. While over 4,200 weapons looted from the armouries in the violence-hit state continue to be untraceable, seeing young men with weapons is a common site in the fringe areas. The state went to polls in two phases for the two Lok Sabha seats--April 19 and 26. Congress nominee from Inner Manipur and JNU professor Bimol Akoijam equated the violence in Manipur to ''Rwanda-like ethnic conflict'', saying separating Kukis and Meiteis geographically in violence-hit Manipur in the name of safety is against the ''very idea'' of India. ''The kind of situation we are seeingwe dont believe that this can happen in a settled democracy like India,'' he told PTI. The BJP nominee from the seat and state Law Minister Basanta Kumar Singh, said his party does not endorse the segregation and stands for a ''United Manipur''. ''We as a party and government stand for a united Manipur there should be no separatism of any kind,'' Singh told PTI in response to a question about the demands of the Kuki-zo community for a separate administration. The sitting MP from the area, which voted on April 19, is BJPs Rajkumar Ranjan Singh, also a minister of state in the Union government. According to officials, more than 50,000 people are still living in camps following the unrest. As politicians chart their agenda, they wait for some semblance of calm and quiet to return to their lives along with thousands of others.

Manipur One Year On: Meitei-Kuki Couples Forced To Live Apart, Contemplate Uncertain Tomorrow

As crisis continues in the polarised state, where the Meitis are concentrated in Imphal Valley and the Kukis have moved to the hills around, inter-tribe couples are facing the cruel brunt of a conflict

One year since Manipur violence, Meitei-Kuki couples forced to live apart, contemplate uncertain tomorrow

IMPHAL/CHURACHANDPUR: Monthly dates in Mizoram or maybe Assam if at all, single parenting and the constant fear of abandonment. For Manipur's Meitei-Kuki couples forced to live apart in 'community' enclaves, this is how life has been since ethnic clashes broke out in the state last May. As crisis continues in the polarised state, where the Meitis are concentrated in Imphal Valley and the Kukis have moved to the hills around, inter-tribe couples are facing the cruel brunt of a conflict that has claimed more than 200 lives and displaced many thousands since May 3, 2023. If a mother gets to see her children maybe once a month, there is a father who hasn't seen his daughter since she was born. And then there is the constant fear of family bonds being strained perhaps to breaking point with a wife wondering if her husband will abandon her and a couple contemplating what lies ahead for them as a unit. The future stretches uncertain. Irene Haokip, for instance, is a Kuki who moved to Imphal after she got married. Manipurs lost year shows no sign of ending One year on, the 42-year-old has moved to Churachandpur, a Kuki dominated area, to be with her family while her husband and their children, a five-year-old son and a three-year-old daughter, stay on in Imphal. My husband used to work as a construction contractor. I met him when a neighbour's house in Bishnupur was getting constructed. We fell in love and he would come to the area to meet me often. We got married in 2018 and have two children, Haokip told PTI. Bishnupur is between Meitei dominated Imphal and Kuki dominated Churachandpur. It earlier housed people from both communities and is now considered a buffer zone. My husband sent me to my parents' home last year fearing for my safety in the valley when clashes broke out. There has been no going back since. The children are with him because we fear that they might not be safe in Churachandpur since they are Meitei children, Haokip added. She meets her family once a month in neighbouring Mizoram, travelling 15 hours each way. He brings the children there too. Many other couples also do that. We meet once a month and come back to our respective houses. My children miss me but it feels like a choice between being alive and mothers' love. As Manipuris count their losses, many say that this was not always so. Meitei-Kuki marriages were not uncommon and never a source of societal trouble with the two communities mingling easily. It changed on May 3 when trouble broke out after after a 'Tribal Solidarity March' was organised in the hill districts to protest against the Meitei community's demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status. A month later, Laishram Singh, a Kuki, became a father. He wanted to be the best father when he got to know about his wife's pregnancy in 2022. They were expecting their first child in June and were shopping for clothes and toys. But destiny had other plans. Singh moved to the hills where Kukis live and his wife Achanba, a Meitei, stayed back. She had lost her parents five years ago and had to move to a relief camp in Imphal Valley in May last year where she gave birth to a girl in June. Eleven months later, Singh hasn't yet met his daughter. Achanba worries the distance might just end her marriage. I have a husband but I am still forced to live life as a single mother he calls me sometimes and I send him pictures but the communication is gradually dropping. I fear that if this goes on for long, his family might pressure him into marrying a Kuki girl and he will abandon me. This also causes us to fight. I am not a widow, I am not a divorcee. I don't know what kind of separation is this, Achanba added helplessly. Nirmala, a Kuki, who ran a shop in all women market Ima Keithel till last year, now lives in the hills and has no stable means of livelihood. She also fears being abandoned. Her husband, a Meitei, who lives with their son and his parents in Sugnu area in Meitei dominated Imphal, initially used to send her money but has stopped. We have been married for 15 years. My shop was a good contributor to our household income that has stopped now. Here I live with my brother and sister-in-law and take up odd jobs but there is no stable income. I feel like I am a burden on them if this continues I will have to move to a relief camp, 45-year-old Nirmala told PTI. Others such as Pema Dimpu and her Kuki husband say they are constantly discussing whether they should move to another state. Dimpu, a Meitei, stays in Imphal Valley while her husband has gone to the hills. That seems to be the only way out now that we move somewhere else and start a new life. It has been a year and there is no peace in sight no idea when we can coexist like before without the threat of life constantly looming over us, Dimpu said. The hill state has witnessed sporadic, sometime intense, ethnic clashes since May 3 last year between the majority Meitei community and the Kukis.
