Manipuri groups protest data gathering of North-eastern, Gorkha and others in Delhi

It is believed that the Special Unit for North Eastern Region (SPUNER) of Delhi Police has recently issued an order to monitor, conduct head counting, and collect data of individuals from the northeastern states, Ladakhi, Darjeeling, and Gorkha communities who have settled in Delhi. This directive has raised significant concerns and objections from various quarters.

The Delhi Meitei Coordinating Committee (DMCC), representing the apex body of the Meitei community in Delhi, strongly objects to this order issued by SPUNER.
