Imphal: In a show of solidarity and determination, the people of Koki-Zo in Kangpokpi District gathered at Brig. M. Thomas grounds for a massive congregational prayer service, marking the completion of 90 days since the infamous Manipur disaster.
The prayer ceremony organized under the auspices of the Kangpokpi District Tribal Churches Leaders Fellowship was attended by prominent Kuki-Zo leaders, church leaders, intellectuals, leaders of civil society organizations, social workers and many members of the community.

Reverend Dr. V. Sitlhou, Advisor of Kangpokpi District Tribal Churches Leaders Fellowship, expressed the community’s strong belief in the importance of prayer in this difficult time.
He urged churches around the world to join hands in prayer, to help the people of Kuki-Zo seek a separate administration.
The ceremony also served to commemorate the sacrifices made during the ongoing violence, as the names and photographs of Kuki-Zo’s martyrs were displayed to honor and pay tribute to their memory.
