Attacks by terrorists on security personnel in Manipur has become rampant, with many incidents being blamed at the Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF).
After the NSCN (I-M) in 2015 agreed to hold talks with the Centre and demanded that Naga-inhabited areas be brought under one group, the ZUF opposed it . The ZUF is an active armed group that fights for the rights of Zeliangrong tribe and other indigenous tribes.
