Manipur On Boil, Civil Society Junks NDA Resolution, Set 24-Hour Ultimatum

Recent spate of killings in Manipur have sparked massive outrage and put Chief Minister N Biren Singh in a spot

Meitei civil society organisations have rejected resolutions passed in a meeting of ruling party MLAs to arrest the spiralling violence in Manipur and set a 24-hour deadline to take "concrete steps" failing which it will take "decisive action".

This comes days after the recent spate of killings in the Northeastern state, which has been tense since ethnic violence between Meitei and Kuki communities erupted last year. In the recent cycle of violence, six people, including women and children, were killed in Jiribam. The killing of innocent civilians has sparked a wave of outrage and put the N Biren Singh-led BJP government in a spot.
