New Delhi: The Centre and Manipur governments have signed a fresh agreement with the Kuki-Zo groups on Thursday, in which all sides agreed to maintain the territorial integrity of Manipur, open National Highway-2 for free movement, and the relocation of militant camps.

The tripartite Suspension of Operations (SoO) agreement has re-negotiated ground rules.

The three sides also agreed on the need for a negotiated solution to bring lasting peace and stability to Manipur, reduce the number of designated camps, relocate the weapons to the nearest CRPF/BSF camps and stringent physical verification of militant cadres by security forces to de-list foreign nationals, if any.

A Joint Monitoring Group will closely monitor enforcement of ground rules, and violations will be dealt with firmly in future, including review of the SoO agreement, according to a statement issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
