NSCN (I-M) under the leadership of Muivah and Isak Chishi Swu signed a ceasefire agreement with the Government of India in August 1997 after decades of engaging in hostile fighting with Indian security forces. The major breakthrough of the peace talk happened on 3 August 2015 with the signing of a peace accord between Muivah-led NSCN(I-M) and the Narendra Modi-led Indian Government. In 2010, the Manipur state government barred Muivah from returning to his native
Ukhrul District, which he had not visited since 1973, triggering large-scale deadly protests. He was finally allowed to return in 2025. ==References==
