HISTORY OF THE MIGRATION OF LOTHA IN DIMAPUR
According to records, the early Lothas migrated from Makhani to Dimapur since they were living in and around Dimapur even before the Japan war. From the time of the Baptist, the present Kukidolong has been Lotha Village naming as Khumkiri. Owing to lack of foresightedness and not permanently settled by the early Lothas, the village was occupied by other tribes.
