Manipur has been under the President's rule since February last year after the resignation of N Biren Singh amid ethnic violence between the Kukis and the Meiteis. But earlier in the day, several NDA MLAs arrived in Delhi after being summoned by saffron party's top leadership.
All BJP MLAs from Manipur were called to Delhi for a meeting today, just days before the second term of President's rule in the state is set to end.
Former chief minister N Biren Singh said that since MLAs from all NDA partners have been invited, he was expecting a favourable development.
A senior security official said that the terrorists fled in a white van after attacking the vehicle carrying troops on a busy road. The troops responded with caution to prevent harm to civilians.
The Centre is set to extend President's Rule in Manipur by six months from August 13, 2025, amid ongoing ethnic tensions and efforts to restore stability and explore political solutions.
Acting on specific intelligence inputs, joint teams comprising Manipur Police, Assam Rifles, the Indian Army, and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) launched coordinated operations at multiple locations in Tengnoupal, Kangpokpi, Chandel, and Churachandpur districts.
Security forces in Manipur arrested 8 terrorists and recovered 43 weapons, IEDs, grenades, and other war-like stores in a major anti-insurgency crackdown.
The massive cache was the result of a coordinated intelligence-based operation by teams from the Manipur Police, Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), and the Army.
Tensions flared in Manipur over the weekend following reports of the arrest of members of the Meitei group Arambai Tenggol. In response, the state government suspended internet and mobile data services for five days in Imphal West, Imphal East, Thoubal, Bishnupur, and Kakching districts.
