Manipur remains tense following a surge in violence, with an umbrella group of Meitei civil society organisations rejecting resolutions from a National Democratic Alliance legislators' meeting and demanding "concrete steps" against Kuki insurgent groups. The Northeastern state has been fraught with ethnic tensions since violence between Meitei and Kuki communities erupted last year. The recent killing of six people, including women and children, in Jiribam has escalated tensions, prompting the Centre to deploy additional forces to manage the deteriorating situation.
