Armed miscreants from both Meiti and Kuki communities in conflict have been indulging in violence leading to unfortunate loss of lives and disruption in public order in Manipur.

It was also informed that strict action would be initiated against anyone trying to indulge in violent and disruptive activities.

The ministry also mentioned that important cases were handed over to the National Investigation Agency for effective investigation.

Meanwhile, the MHA requested public to maintain peace and not to believe in rumours and cooperate with the security forces to maintain law and order in the state.

In light of continued tensions in the region, the Director General of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Anish Dayal Singh also reached Manipur earlier on Sunday.

This visit comes as the security situation remains volatile, with the CRPF playing a crucial role in maintaining peace and stability.

The Director General's visit aims to assess the ground situation firsthand, meet with local security officials, and explore further measures to de-escalate tensions in the area. This high-level visit underscores the government's commitment to addressing ongoing issues and ensuring the safety and well-being of the communities. (ANI)
