The Manipur government will take "appropriate steps" to enforce a law that will end the system of hereditary chieftainship in the hills areas of the state, BJP MLA Rajkumar Imo Singh said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

The Manipur government has sought a detailed report from the Assam Rifles on how at least 718 Myanmar nationals - in just two days i.e. July 22 and 23 - "were allowed to enter India" without "proper travel documents".

Automatic weapons were fired from Kwatha and Kangvai areas of conflict-torn Manipur last night, and intermittent bursts of firing were being reported till early this morning, police and army sources have said.

For over a week, Manipur's Sugnu town has now remained the key area of confrontation between the two communities at loggerheads in the northeastern state, where sporadic violence has continued for over a month.

Rajkumar Ranjan Singh and Lorho S Pfoze - the only two Lok Sabha MPs from the northeast state, where violence broke out between the Meiteis and the Kukis over the Meiteis' demand for Scheduled Tribes (ST) category - had organised an informal meeting.

Rajkumar Ranjan Singh, the Minister of State for External Affairs and Education, has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the threat of "Balkanisation on ethnic lines" in Manipur.
