Amit Shah's Visit To Manipur Border Town Today After 5 Key Decisions

Amit Shah held nine meetings in his efforts to restore peace in Manipur a day ago, between Imphal and Churachandpur.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to visit the border town of Moreh in Manipur, located on the India-Myanmar frontier, on Wednesday in an effort to quell tensions following a month of ethnic clashes that have left over 80 people dead.

After a late-night arrival in Imphal on Monday, Mr Shah commenced a series of meetings with various Kuki and Meitei leaders, top security officers, and the Manipur cabinet in pursuit of a resolution to the escalating ethnic violence. Aiming to restore peace in the state, he also held an all-party meeting on Tuesday evening - one of nine meetings he held in the day.

Mr Shah's visit to Moreh, a town significantly impacted by the ongoing unrest, began around 10 am Wednesday, where he was expected to interact with Kuki civil society groups and assess the current security measures in place.

He will then travel to the Kangpokpi district around 1 pm, an area heavily populated by Kukis but also home to many Meitei villages. Kangpokpi has been one of the districts worst affected by the clashes, with religious structures and buildings of both communities targeted.
