Centre's Big Order On Manipur To Ensure Free Movement From Next Week | Read

Manipur | Home Minister Amit Shah today issued a directive mandating that the free movement of people be ensured on all roads in Manipur starting March 8. He also instructed authorities to take strict action against anyone attempting to obstruct movement on the roads. Mr Shah had earlier chaired a high-level review meeting on the security situation in the conflict-hit state. The meeting, held in Delhi, focused on restoring normalcy in the northeastern state, which has been grappling with ethnic violence since May 2023. This was the first such review meeting held since the imposition of President's Rule in the state. Manipur has witnessed widespread violence for nearly two years, with over 200 people killed in clashes.
