A women's organization in Manipur has launched a campaign to collect signatures from MLAs demanding an update to the National Register of Citizens (NRC). The initiative aims to address citizenship concerns in the state.
The women's body announced that it is reaching out to all MLAs in Manipur to sign a petition urging the authorities to revise the NRC. The campaign was launched after repeated calls from various groups for a more accurate citizenship register in the state.
Officials from the organization said that an updated NRC would help clarify the status of residents and reduce uncertainties surrounding citizenship. They emphasized that the drive is purely peaceful and aims to create a consensus among elected representatives.
The initiative seeks to gather signatures from legislators across party lines, reflecting a broad-based appeal for action on the NRC issue. The women's body hopes that the collected signatures will prompt the state and central governments to consider the demand seriously.
While the campaign is still in its early stages, organizers have expressed confidence that the MLA signatures will strengthen their advocacy. They have urged the public to support the effort through peaceful means.
