Ethnic Conflicts Between Kuki & Meitei Turn Fertile Farms Into No Man's Land
On May 3, 2023, ethnic violence erupted in Manipur, leaving deep scars on the state's people and land. Once, Kuki and Meitei farmers cultivated paddy side by side in the fertile fields between the valley and the hills. Today, these lands lie barren, turned into a no-man's land by a miles-long buffer zone. In Chingphei village, farmer Ngulsang shares his quiet anguish - over two years without access to his land, his livelihood lost to a conflict that refuses to fade. In Manipur, rice isn't just food - it's a way of life. Nearly 2.3 lakh farmers depend on paddy cultivation across 1.95 lakh hectares, but fear, displacement, and violence have devastated productivity. From Kangpokpi to Imphal, and Churachandpur to Bishnupur, fertile fields remain uncultivated, symbolising a fractured community and an uncertain future.
