The issue of the ongoing suspension of operation with insurgent groups in Manipur is likely to be discussed when Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh meets PM Narendra Modi and Amit Shah in Delhi, sources said
Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh and four members of his cabinet have gone to Delhi to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday to discuss the situation in the northeastern state shaken by violence for the past several days, a source said.
The issue of the ongoing suspension of operation (SOO) with militant organisations of the state is also likely to be discussed, the source said.
The chief minister's visit to Delhi also followed the demand by 10 tribal MLAs belonging to the Chin-Kuki-Mizo-Zomi group in Manipur for a "separate administration" for their region in the wake of recent violent clashes between the Meiteis and tribals.
Of the 10 legislators, 7 belong to the BJP, two are from Kuki People's Alliance (KPA) and one is an Independent. The two KPA and independent MLAs are also part of the NDA led by the saffron party.
