Life in Lamka | Economic Impact of Violence on Kuki - Zo Community in Manipur

Benjamin, a Kuki-Zo man and father of five in Manipur’s Churachandpur district, struggles daily to meet his family's needs amid ongoing ethnic violence. The unrest, which began over a year ago, has severely impacted the state's economy, with retail inflation soaring to 11.63% in November 2023, compared to the national average of 5.55%. Beyond the official figures, the prices of essential goods have skyrocketed in this border district, which remains cut off from the commercial hub of the Meitei-dominant Imphal region, about 60 km away. All goods now come through mountainous terrain, covering a distance of over 800 km. Amid unprecedentedly high inflation, residents' incomes have halved. How is Benjamin’s family – and other residents – surviving this economic crisis? Newsreel Asia’s Mariya Rajan and Monis Khan traveled to Churachandpur to find out. Through this “visual report,” they share what they witnessed. Visit https://www.newsreel.asia to watch more videos and listen to our engaging Podcasts on public interest issues for free.
