Police in Manipur stopped a Meitei activist from visiting a Kuki-dominated area as part of a "cycle for peace" campaign before she could cross the buffer zone between the two communities.
The activist, Malem Thongam, began her campaign on March 12 but was stopped in Chandel before she could enter Kuki-majority Churachandpur.
The Indigenous Tribal Leaders' Forum (ITLF), a Kuki body, cautioned her against entering the area, citing reports about Thongam's plan to visit Churachandpur.
The ITLF warned that Thongam will be responsible for any untoward incident that may occur if she crosses the zone.
Meiteis and Kukis withdrew to their respective strongholds after the ethnic violence began in the state, claiming at least 260 lives and displacing around 60,000 people.
