Nueva Delhi: Interior Minister of the Union, Amit Shah, will preside over a meeting on Saturday to review the security situation in Manipur.
This follows the resignation of the main minister N Biren Singh on February 9 amid the growing violence and political instability that has affected the State for almost two years.
On February 13, the president’s rule won in Manipur after receiving a report from the state governor.
The proclamation, published in the Indian Gazette and issued by the Ministry of Interior of the Union, establishes that the powers of the Manipur Legislative Assembly will be transferred to Parliament, effectively suspending the authority of the state government.
In November last year, Amit Shah convened a detailed high -level review meeting with senior officials in the national capital to evaluate the current security situation in Manipur.
The discussions focused on recent developments in the state, and the senior officials provide a comprehensive evaluation of ongoing challenges and response measures. The meeting underlines the central government’s commitment to stabilize the region and guarantee public safety.
Amit Shah reviewed the security implementation in Manipur during the meeting, directing Armed Police Forces of the Center (CAPF) and state police officers to maintain peace and order in the region.
Violence broke out in the state of Northeast on May 3 of last year after clashes during a rally organized by the Union of Students of Tribals (ATSU) to protest against the demand for the inclusion of the MEITEI community in the programmed tribe category.
