It said unidentified armed assailants targeted the village during a Sunday church congregation and that several people, including women and children, were injured. The organisation did not supply further casualty figures in the statement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">The committee also accused security personnel deployed in the area of a lapse, alleging that forces present nearby failed to prevent the attack. These allegations have not been independently verified, and there has been no official response from security agencies to the KCWC\u2019s claims.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">The KCWC demanded the immediate arrest of those responsible and called for a thorough, impartial investigation. It urged both the Central and Manipur governments to provide urgent medical assistance, relief and enhanced security for residents of Thingkhojang and neighbouring areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">As additional pressure, the committee declared non-cooperation with the 86 Battalion of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) until accountability is established for the alleged security failure. The KCWC said it stands in solidarity with affected families and pressed authorities to act swiftly to restore public confidence and civilian safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">There was no immediate response from the state government or security agencies to the demands raised by the organisation.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kuki CSO Working Committee (KCWC) of South West Sadar Hills announced a 24-hour total shutdown along National Highway-37 with immediate effect after an armed attack on civilians in Thingkhojang village in Kangpokpi district, Manipur.
