The Manipur chief minister announced that the National Register of Citizens (NRC) will be a key agenda in the state assembly session beginning on September 2.
Manipur's chief minister has confirmed that the upcoming legislative assembly session, slated to commence on September 2, will focus on the implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the state. The announcement was made in a brief statement to the media, indicating that the government intends to address procedural and legal aspects of the NRC rollout.
The NRC, a nationwide exercise aimed at verifying citizenship, has been a subject of intense debate across India. In Manipur, the move has sparked concerns among various community groups, prompting the state government to seek a clear legislative pathway.
By placing the NRC on the assembly's agenda, the administration aims to outline timelines, address grievances, and ensure that the process aligns with constitutional safeguards. The session is expected to feature discussions among lawmakers, legal experts, and civil society representatives.
Stakeholders have been urged to submit their inputs before the session begins, as the government seeks to balance security considerations with the rights of residents. The outcome of the deliberations will shape how the NRC is operationalised in Manipur.
The assembly is scheduled to convene in Imphal, and the chief minister reiterated the government's commitment to a transparent and consultative approach.
