NDTV
Biren Singh said that it is not easy to say that the situation will improve suddenly but the incidents of violence are reducing in the state.
In a major development related to violence in Manipur, Chief Minister N Biren Singh last evening said that infiltrators from across the border have caused the ongoing unrest in the northeast state and not due to an enmity between two communities.
Manipur shares around 400 km unfenced border with Myanmar.
"Security forces have launched a massive combing operation to arrest those involved in Urangpat and Yaingangpokpi areas. We would take stern action against the culprit as per the law," Mr Singh said.
Addressing a press conference on Thursday, Mr Singh added that the government is making efforts to restore peace and normalcy in the state. "As per our commitment, we are contacting everyone, we are discussing at various levels. The governor has also constituted a peace committee and consultation with peace committee members will start. I hope that with the support of the people of the state, we will achieve peace at the earliest," he said.
