Manipur: From March That Started Violence To Amit Shah's Visit, What Happened So Far — 10 Points

ABP News  

Manipur Violence: The small northeastern state of Manipur has been witnessing continuous violence and arson since the last month, escalating the tensions in the region. Here's What Happened In Manipur So Far Thousands of tribals took out a 'Tribal Solidarity March' on May 3 opposing Meitei community's demand for Scheduled Tribe status. The march came after the Manipur High Court on April 19 this year, after hearing a petition by eight people representing the Meitei Tribe Union, directed the state government to submit a 10-year-old recommendation to the Union Tribal Affairs Ministry for the inclusion of the Meitei community in the ST list, within four weeks. Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh said that at least 33 militants, belonging to different underground groups, have been so far gunned down by security forces in the strife-torn state, during the ongoing combing operations to control the large-scale and sporadic incidents of violence in the northeastern state. Union home minister Amit Shah on Monday visited the strife-torn state of Manipur on a four-day visit and chaired a high-level meeting with Chief Minister N Biren Singh along with ministers of the state, senior leaders and officials in the state capital Imphal to assess the situation and plan further steps to restore normalcy in the region.
