In a major political shift, the Indian government has imposed President’s Rule in Manipur, taking direct control of the state. This decision comes after months of escalating violence between the Meitei and Kuki communities. The unrest has led to over 250 deaths and displaced thousands, creating a severe law-and-order crisis.
With the resignation of Chief Minister N. Biren Singh, the central government suspended the Manipur assembly. Now, the governor, appointed by the President, will handle state affairs until stability is restored.
What Happens Next?
Under President’s Rule in Manipur, the federal government will work towards restoring peace. Security forces have been deployed to curb further violence. The move is expected to bring administrative stability, but concerns remain about political representation and long-term solutions.
