Manipur Violence: Meitei Group Demands Action, Gives 24-Hour Ultimatum to Biren Singh Govt

Manipur continues to face escalating violence, with protests turning increasingly violent after the recovery of six bodies in the Imphal Valley. Authorities suspect that the bodies, which were discovered in a remote area, are linked to the ongoing ethnic conflict between the Meitei and Kuki communities, which has rocked the state in recent months. The violence has triggered further unrest, with protests spreading across the region, targeting government officials, security forces, and state institutions.

The state has been in a state of turmoil for several months, with sporadic clashes, burning of homes, and displacement of thousands. The ongoing conflict has prompted widespread concern from both national and international communities, urging the government to take swift and decisive steps to restore peace and stability.

In response to the situation, political leaders are calling for immediate intervention. The Meitei community has issued a 24-hour ultimatum to the government of Chief Minister N. Biren Singh, demanding urgent action to address their grievances. Meanwhile, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi visit Manipur to assess the situation firsthand and offer a resolution to the crisis.

The unrest in Manipur has also drawn attention from the international community. Several human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, have expressed concern over the growing violence and the reported human rights abuses committed by armed groups on both sides. The United Nations has called for restraint and urged all parties to work towards a peaceful resolution. With no clear end to the violence in sight, the situation in Manipur remains tense, with citizens and political leaders alike calling for urgent action to restore peace and stability to the region.
