A historic milestone for peace in Assam was achieved today (March 15, 2026) with the signing of the Memoranda of Settlement (MoS) between the Government of Assam and the Kuki groups (UKDA, KRA, KLO/KLA), as well as the Hmar Peoples’ Convention (Democratic), Assam Region. These agreements bring the groups into the democratic mainstream and pave the way for the creation of the Kuki Welfare and Development Council and the Hmar Welfare and Development Council to promote the socio-economic and cultural advancement of both communities. Ex-militants will be rehabilitated, and families of those who lost their lives will receive ex gratia support.
