Holidays for educational institutes in Manipur for the next two days. The decision was made in the context of the possibility of conflict. Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh along with Speaker, Cabinet Ministers and BJP MLAs met Governor Laxman Prasad Acharya yesterday and apprised him of the current situation. Meanwhile, prohibition will continue in conflict prone areas including Jiribham. At the same time, people’s anger against Chief Minister Biren Singh for not being able to restore law and order in the state is getting stronger. The areas where the attack continues are on high alert.
During the search conducted by the army yesterday, a cache of weapons such as sniper rifles, grenades and long-range rocket bombs were recovered. Security has been deployed including anti-drone systems. Military helicopters were deployed for patrolling and conducting aerial surveys. Yesterday, Kuki-So groups held a protest rally demanding the resignation of Biren Singh. Despite the continued violence in the state, the central government has also remained silent.
