The Joint Tribes Council (JTC)<\/strong> representing the Liangmai, Rongmei, Zeme, and Inpui Naga communities has submitted a detailed memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, raising alarm over what it describes as \u201cunchecked illegal migration<\/strong>\u201d and its severe impact on indigenous populations across Manipur. A copy of the memorandum was also forwarded to the Governor of Manipur and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.<\/p>\n

In the memorandum dated December 4, 2025, the JTC asserts that the influx of illegal migrants\u2014from both Myanmar and neighbouring Indian states undergoing NRC exercises\u2014has dramatically altered the demographic balance and put pressure on land, resources, and traditional livelihoods of native communities.<\/p>\n

The council claims that new settlements have rapidly mushroomed along major highways, allegedly linked to large-scale poppy cultivation and protected by \u201cwell-armed underground groups<\/strong>\u201d.These groups, according to the JTC, control illegal taxation points on national highways, restrict movement of certain valley-based communities, and have begun renaming inter-village routes after militant leaders such as \u201cTiger\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cGerman.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The memorandum states that many indigenous communities now \u201clive in fear and uncertainty<\/strong>,\u201d warning that rightful landowners increasingly feel they are at risk of becoming \u201crefugees in their own homeland<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Demands to the Central Government<\/strong><\/p>\n

The JTC urged the Prime Minister and Union Home Ministry to initiate immediate measures, including:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Identification and deportation of illegal migrants<\/p>\n

\u2022 Dismantling of unlawful settlements, especially those tied to poppy cultivation<\/p>\n

\u2022 Removal of armed militant groups operating in these areas<\/p>\n

\u2022 Restoration of movement along highways and security for indigenous villages<\/p>\n

\u2022 Safeguarding demographic balance and cultural identity of native communities<\/p>\n

The council stated that decisive action from the Centre is necessary to ensure the \u201csecurity, dignity, and well-being<\/strong>\u201d of Manipur\u2019s indigenous peoples.<\/p>\n

The memorandum was signed by the presidents of the Liangmai, Rongmei, Zeme, and Inpui Naga councils, who jointly appealed for urgent intervention, saying that lakhs of peace-loving citizens are deeply concerned about the future of their land and identity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
