Kuki-Zo Community Skips Annual Kut Festival
The Kuki-Zo community in Manipur abstained from the state-level Kut festival on November 1 due to ongoing ethnic conflict. Kut, or Chavang Kut, is an annual post-harvest celebration observed by the Kuki-Zo communities across the state. The festival traditionally marks the completion of the harvest season with cultural rituals and gatherings.
