The MHA said security forces have been directed to take necessary steps to restore order and peace in Manipur. The MHA described the security situation as "fragile" citing armed miscreants from both the Meitei and Kuki-Z

The ministry warned that strict action would be taken against anyone indulging in violence or other disruptive acts. To ensure effective investigation important cases have been handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA). The public has been urged to maintain peace

In an effort to stabilise the situation the MHA on Thursday extended the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) in six police station jurisdictions across five districts of Manipur until 31 March 2025. The areas affected include Sekmai, Lamsang Lamlai Jiribam Leimakhong and Moirang.

Tensions were reignited in Jiribam earlier this year when the body of a farmer was discovered sparking violence. In a recent gunfight ten suspected militants were killed after insurgents attacked the Borobekra police station

Protests erupted in Churachandpur district on Friday with demonstrators demanding justice for those killed. The rally organised by the Kuki Women Organisation for Human Rights saw participants march with placards denouncing the security forces
