Manipur's Internet Ban Lifted as Amit Shah Promises Permanent Peace

Manipur Strives For Normalcy

Manipur is gradually returning to normal after enduring weeks of turmoil. Schools have reopened, and the recent internet ban has been lifted across all districts of the state.

Violence Between Meitei and Kuki Tribes

Earlier this month, Manipur experienced significant unrest driven by violent clashes between the Meitei and Kuki communities. The Biren Singh-led government imposed curfews and enforced an internet suspension to prevent escalation of violence. Tragically, the deaths of two individuals from the Kuki-Zo community prompted widespread protests in Imphal, leading to further unrest.

Amit Shah's Commitment to Dialogue

On Tuesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced that the central government is actively engaging with both the Meitei and Kuki tribes to facilitate dialogue and build a roadmap for lasting peace. Shah emphasized that the root of the conflict can be traced back to historical border issues with Myanmar.

Central Measures to Restore Stability

The government has taken proactive measures, including fencing 30 km of the India-Myanmar border and deploying CRPF teams to deter infiltration. Plans are underway to secure an additional 1500 km of border and nullify previous agreements that permitted unrestricted movement.

Affordable Commodities for the People

To further support the region, the central government has introduced initiatives to supply essential commodities at reasonable prices, with plans for additional supply facilities. Amit Shah affirmed the commitment to restore normalcy and public trust within the vital northeastern state.
