Union Home Minister Amit Shah has intensified efforts to restore peace in Manipur amid escalating ethnic violence. After canceling election rallies in Maharashtra, Shah chaired high-level meetings on consecutive days, directing the deployment of an additional 50 companies (over 5,000 personnel) of Central Armed Police Forces to the state. The violence, persisting since May 2023, recently escalated following the abduction and killing of six civilians in Jiribam district, leading to attacks on residences of state ministers and MLAs. Authorities have imposed curfews and suspended internet services in several districts to curb unrest. Shah emphasized strategic deployment and strict legal action against perpetrators to restore normalcy.
