New Delhi, July 25 (UNI) The ongoing President’s rule in Manipur will be extended for a period of six months effective from August 13, 2025.
According to a parliamentary bulletin dated July 24, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Minister of Cooperation has given a notice on the following resolution which has been admitted.
According to the Bulletin No. 65663, the resolution says, “That this House approves the continuance in force of the Proclamation dated the 13th February, 2025 in respect of Manipur, issued under article 356 of the Constitution by the President, for a further period of six months with effect from 13th August, 2025.”
The resignation of Chief Minister N Biren Singh earlier this year led to the imposition of President’s rule in Manipur from February 13.
Ethnic violence erupted on May 3, 2023, after Kuki-Zo and Meitei communities clashed, leaving more than 250 people dead and some 60,000 others displaced. Most of the displaced people continue to live in relief camps.
The violence followed tribals in the hill districts taking out a solidarity rally to protest the State government’s alleged move to grant Scheduled Tribe status to the Meiteis concentrated in the Imphal Valley, which, along with the Jiribam area, comprises about 10% of Manipur’s geographical area.
