The Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) has appealed to the President of India, Droupadi Murmu to ensure justice, accountability and protection of innocent Naga civilians affected by the ongoing conflict in Manipur, particularly the abduction, torture and killing of six Naga civilians.
The demand was made through a memorandum submitted to the President via Nagaland Governor Nand Kishore Yadav following a candlelight vigil in Kohima under the theme “Justice for Six Nagas.”
The bodies of those six civilians who were abducted on May 13 from Leilon Vaiphei village in Kangpokpi district were recovered on June 10 from the vicinity of a Kuki Zo village. The recovery took place a day after 14 Kuki individuals, who were abducted by armed groups in Senapati district nearly a month ago, were released.
The Federation also enclosed its “Report on the Naga-Kuki Conflict in Manipur: Findings of the Naga Students’ Federation Reconnaissance and Solidarity Mission to Southern Nagalim, Manipur,” containing field observations, community interactions, documentation of incidents and recommendations compiled during its fact-finding mission.
The NSF stated that it undertook the Reconnaissance and Solidarity Mission to Southern Nagalim, Manipur, from June 4 to 6, 2026, in response to the deteriorating humanitarian situation affecting Naga communities. The mission aimed to extend solidarity to affected people, assess the prevailing humanitarian and security conditions, interact with affected families, village authorities, civil society organisations and other stakeholders, and document incidents affecting civilian life, security and dignity.
