On Sunday, representatives of the Yimkhiung (Yimchunger) tribe from Nagaland, led by Throngso Yimkhiung, president of the Yimkhiung Tribal Council (YTC), visited Leingangching village in Ukhrul district to extend solidarity to families displaced by ongoing tensions in the Litan area.
The delegation’s visit followed their participation in the Lui-Ngai-Ni seed-sowing festival held at the district headquarters. Organisers and participants had gathered for the traditional festival before travelling to Leingangching to meet affected residents.
The visit was described as a gesture of support for displaced families amid unrest in the neighbouring Litan area. Details on the scale of displacement or on specific relief measures were not provided in the report, but the delegation’s presence aimed to signal concern and moral support from the Yimkhiung community.
Led by the YTC president, the group’s trip underlined ties between tribal communities across state lines and the role of cultural occasions like Lui-Ngai-Ni in bringing leaders together. No official statements or commitments beyond the solidarity visit were recorded in the account.
The visit highlights cross-community outreach during a period of local tension; further information on any follow-up assistance or official responses was not included in the source report.
