Manipur: Growing Rift Between State Govt and Hill Tribes

The state of Manipur has witnessed a widening gap between its government and the hill area tribes.

The growing distrust stems from long‑standing concerns over representation, development and cultural rights in the hilly regions.

Local tribal leaders have voiced worries that their perspectives are not being adequately considered in policy decisions.

So far, the state government has not issued a public response to the escalating tensions.
