The Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) has issued a strong advisory urging locals to avoid a foundation stone unveiling event scheduled for March 4 at Jadonang Market, Rasuanbut.

The event, organized by MKT, RNCM-NTL, and the Chief Association of Rongmei Villages, is expected to see a large deployment of NSCN-IM cadres, according to ZUF. Citing security concerns, ZUF has warned that the gathering could pose risks to public safety and has called for a boycott.

The group also stated that the event organizers would be held responsible for any potential consequences. Notably, NSCN/GPRN leader D.G. Robert is slated to attend as the chief guest.

The warning comes amid ongoing tensions between ZUF and NSCN-IM, with recent clashes further escalating concerns over regional stability.

It may be noted that ZUF is a militant organization active in western Manipur. It demands a separate territory for the Zeliangrong people.
