Manipur assembly reaffirms resolution seeking implementation of NRC in state

GUWAHATI: The Manipur assembly on Friday reaffirmed its resolution adopted in August 2022 seeking implementation of the National Register of Citizens in the state to ensure security and integrity of the state. The Manipur assembly first adopted a resolution to enforce NRC and adopt a population commission on August 6, 2022 “Today, the Manipur legislative assembly took a significant step by reaffirming our resolution passed on August 5, 2022. The Manipur assembly first adopted a resolution to enforce NRC and adopt a population commission on August 6, 2022, following demand from several students and tribal bodies who wanted NRC to detect Myanmar, Bangladesh and Nepal residents living illegally in the state. The final NRC list published in August 2019 left out 1.9 million of the 33 million applicants but has been criticised by the BJP-led state government which believes the list has included illegal immigrants and let out eligible people.
