Since May 3, the northeastern state has been roiled by ethnic clashes largely between the Meitei and Kuki communities. At least 102 people have died, 300 injured and nearly 40,000 displaced, with 2,000 houses and shops burnt.
Singh, a former Central Reserve Police Force chief, said that last week, Union home minister Amit Shah had directed the Manipur government to send a request to the Union home ministry seeking relief for the displaced citizens. During his four-day visit to the state, Shah had met different Kuki and Meitei groups, civil society organisations, and groups of citizens. “The situation in Manipur remained peaceful and under control,” Singh said.
On June 1, during the last day of his visit to Manipur, Shah had urged people surrender arms and warned of strict action against those who failed to do so. This came after mobs from various communities broke into armouries of different police stations and fled with around 3,500 guns and 500,000 ammunition.
