Manipur Chief Minister Khemchand called for decisive measures against groups he said are opposing peace in the state.
Manipur Chief Minister Khemchand addressed a press briefing on Thursday, stating that certain elements within the state are actively working against the peace process. He warned that these groups threaten the fragile stability achieved after years of insurgency and communal tension.
The CM emphasized that the government will not tolerate any actions that undermine reconciliation efforts, and ordered law‑enforcement agencies to identify and neutralize such elements. He also called for cooperation from civil society and local leaders to ensure a unified stance for peace.
While specific details about the alleged groups were not disclosed, officials indicated that investigations are underway and that appropriate legal action will follow. The statement reflects ongoing concerns in the northeastern region about sporadic violence and the need for sustained political will to maintain harmony.
Analysts note that the chief minister's remarks come amid renewed calls for dialogue with various factions, and could signal a tougher security posture as the state moves forward with development initiatives.
