Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh has summoned all legislators to Imphal amid growing unrest over the discovery of six bodies of civilians who had been missing since November 11. The individuals, believed to have been abducted by suspected Kuki militants, were found dead, triggering widespread protests across the state. The victims’ families and local communities have demanded justice, with many accusing militant groups of holding them captive and carrying out the killings.
Mass protests erupted in various parts of Manipur, particularly in the Imphal valley, with demonstrators demanding swift action from the government and security forces. The Chief Minister’s call for a meeting with the legislators comes as the state grapples with heightened tensions and demands for accountability.
The protests have intensified the already fragile situation in Manipur, where ethnic clashes between the Meitei and Kuki communities have been ongoing for months. The state government has vowed to investigate the incident thoroughly and bring the perpetrators to justice. The discovery of the bodies has further inflamed communal sentiments, making the CM’s intervention crucial in addressing the rising unrest and restoring order.
