Fresh violence erupted in Manipur, with a woman shot dead by suspected militants in Bishnupur and another set on fire in Jiribam. The incidents have further fueled tensions between the Meitei and Kuki communities, highlighting the ongoing conflict in the state.
In a significant development, Meitei, Kuki, and Naga MLAs from Manipur are set to meet in New Delhi on Tuesday, with the Home Ministry facilitating the dialogue. This meeting marks the first time since the eruption of ethnic violence last year that representatives from the warring communities will come together. The initiative aims to bridge the gap between the communities and explore solutions to the ongoing crisis.
Manipur Chief Minister Biren Singh has confirmed the safe return of two young Meitei men who were abducted on September 27th. The CM expressed gratitude to both state and central government officials for their efforts in securing their release.
In a positive step towards restoring peace in Manipur, a peace meeting was organized in Jiribam district on Thursday, bringing together the Meitei and Hmar communities. Both communities agreed to work collaboratively to bring back normalcy and prevent further violence in the region.
