New Delhi: In order to evaluate the present state of security in Manipur, Union Home Minister Amit Shah called a thorough high-level review conference with top authorities in the nation’s capital on Monday.

Top authorities gave a thorough evaluation of continuing difficulties and reaction plans during the meetings, which centered on recent events in the state. The central government’s commitment to maintaining public safety and stabilizing the area is emphasized by the meeting.

Since Sunday, there have been two straight review meetings.

During the meeting, Amit Shah assesses the security deployment in Manipur and gives state police officials and the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) instructions on how to keep the area peaceful and orderly.

Due to the difficult circumstances in the state, it was agreed during the conference to send an extra 50 companies of the Central Armed Police Forces—for a total of nearly 5,000 personnel—to Manipur. A few days ago, twenty CAPFs were sent to Manipur.

The administration has taken aggressive measures to monitor and manage regional stability as a result of the increased tensions in Manipur.

Shah also called a similar gathering on Sunday after he got back to his Delhi home, delaying his intended trip to Vidarbha, Maharashtra, where he was supposed to address a number of rallies before the state’s assembly elections on November 20.

Notably, armed criminals from both sides of the conflict have been engaging in violent acts, causing regrettable fatalities and upsetting the peace in Manipur.

The Ministry of Home Affairs said two days ago that all security personnel were instructed to take the required actions to bring peace and order back to Manipur.

Additionally, it was told that anybody attempting to engage in violent or disruptive behavior would face severe consequences.

In order to preserve law and order in the state, the MHA has asked the populace to keep the peace, not fall for rumors, and work with the security forces.

Anish Dayal Singh, the Director General of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), arrived in Manipur on Sunday amid ongoing tensions in the area. Since the security situation was still unstable and the CRPF was essential to preserving peace and stability, his visit was scheduled. The purpose of the CRPF Director General’s visit was to meet with local security authorities, get a firsthand assessment of the situation on the ground, and look into other ways to reduce tensions in the region.

The continuing violence in Manipur intensified once again earlier on Sunday, prompting the Manipur police to enforce a curfew in the districts of Imphal West and Imphal East. After six dead corpses were found, a curfew was imposed.

The state administration has halted internet access in seven areas due to the increase in violence. There is less vehicle traffic in the impacted regions due to increased security, especially near Chief Minister Biren Singh’s home and the Raj Bhavan.

On Sunday, the National People’s Party (NPP) also stopped backing the Manipur BJP government, which is headed by N Biren Singh. In a letter to BJP National President JP Nadda, Meghalaya Chief Minister and NPP Chief Conrad Sangma said that Biren Singh’s Manipur administration had “completely failed to resolve the crisis and restore normalcy.”

Three significant cases connected to the recent violence that occurred in Manipur during the first two weeks of this month, which claimed lives and severely disrupted public order, are now being investigated by the NIA.

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) recently ordered the agency to take over these cases from Manipur Police since the violent actions associated with the three cases have escalated occurrences in the highland state, resulting in deaths and serious social unrest.

On November 8, the Jiribam Police Station received the first case, which included the murder of a lady by armed terrorists in the Jiribam region. On November 11, Borobekra Police Station filed the second complaint, which concerned an armed militant assault on the Central Reserve Police Force position in Jakuradhor Karong and Borobekra Police Station, Jiribam. On November 11, however, a third complaint pertaining to the burning of homes and the death of a civilian in the Borobekra region was filed at the Borobekra Police Station.

On November 13, the NIA took over these three cases.

After conflicts during a demonstration organized by the All Tribals Students Union (ATSU) to protest against the demand for the inclusion of the Meitei people in the Scheduled Tribe category, violence broke out in the northeastern state on May 3 of last year.
