First Kuki village in Churachandpur resettled 3 years after conflict began

Guwahati The first Kuki village in Manipur’s Churachandpur district was resettled on Thursday (May 28, 2026) after three years, but only the males have returned from a relief camp, while their families continue to live there. Khodang, a village near the “buffer zone”, is close to where the Churachandpur district meets the Imphal Valley’s Bishnupur and Kakching districts. A strip of land of varying width separating the Meitei-majority valley from the surrounding Kuki-dominated hills is referred to as the buffer zone. Some 200 people of Khodang had fled deeper inside the Churachandpur district after the ethnic conflict between the Kuki-Zo and Meitei people broke out on May 3, 2023. The district administration helped in the resettlement process. Local MLA Paolienlal Haokip cut a ribbon to inaugurate the village for habitation. M. Sonsei Haokip, the Khodang village secretary, said the villagers fled and took refuge in a relief camp in Churachandpur, the district headquarters, when a mob set most of the houses ablaze. “We have 45 families here.

Garcia, known for his roles in The Godfather: Part III and Ocean’s Eleven, decided to help her out. Thus began a 20-year journey for that story, which eventually became the noir thriller Diamond, premiering at the Cannes Film Festival this year.

‘The match that we won against India by 10 wickets, everyone began to think there’s no one better than us…’ Pakistani great on players’ attitude post the 2021 IND vs PAK | Cricket News

3 min readUpdated: Feb 19, 2026 09:08 PM IST With India’s 61-run win over arch rivals Pakistan in the group match in the ongoing T20 World Cup earlier this month, it meant that India now has eight wins as compared to Pakistan’s one win in the T20 World Cup history. As the Salman Agha led Pakistan side lost to India by 61 runs at Colombo earlier this month, it meant that Pakistan’s string of losses against India in the T20 World Cup continued. Pakistan had last won against India in a T20 World Cup match in the 2021 T20 World Cup, where the Babar Azam led Pakistan team scored a ten-wicket win over India at Dubai. Former Pakistan great and batting coach Mohammad Yousuf believes the ten-wicket against India in the 2021 edition meant that the players got complacent and disrespectful to the coaches following the thumping win and the current crop needs to be grounded. “Fortunately, or unfortunately, the match that we won against India by 10 wickets, everyone began to think there’s no …
