Fourteen civil society leaders from Manipur have departed for Delhi to present concerns over the National Register of Citizens and census processes to the central government.
A delegation of fourteen civil‑society leaders from Manipur set out for Delhi this week to meet officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Census Commission. They aim to raise concerns about the implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the state and the methodology of the upcoming census. The CSOs argue that accurate census data is essential for equitable resource allocation and representation. The Ministry has not yet issued a statement on the delegation’s requests, and the leaders expect a meeting with senior officials to discuss their issues.
