Manipur’s violence will be resolved and peace restored after the Union Minister’s visit to the state today.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah mentions that he will be on a three-day visit to Manipur in order to resolve the erupted violence between the two ethnic tribes over the issue of reservation and Schedule tribe status. Amit Shah will look forward to the same and will try to resolve the issue and the violence that erupted in the state today. A positive response has been recorded from the locals in the search for violence for the state.
Development on the same
Manipur burns due to violence that erupted between the two ethnic tribes of the state, which led to the killing of several locals and villagers. In order to resolve the ongoing deadlock in the state, the same Home Minister will visit the state today and will try to consolidate the situation. Before the visit, he has tried to convince and persuade the locals to maintain peace and patience in order to resolve the ongoing deadlock in the state. The visit will try to resolve the ethnic clashes, maintain peace, and restore the pace of development in the state.
He will be on a three-day visit to stay there and study the situation to present a relevant as well as acceptable solution to the people of the state. He will try to listen to everyone’s views and opinions in order to have a more acceptable and appreciable solution for the people. He will also pay homage to the locals and villagers who have lost their lives in the violence.
Positive responses have been recorded from the locals as well as from organisations like the United People’s Front and the Kuki National Organisations, which work for the welfare of the Kuki Zo community in Manipur. They have been given, and they have also shown a welcoming gesture to the minister’s visit. The organisation mentioned that it was hurtful that the violence had erupted and led to such negative implications for the lives and property of the people of Manipur. The violence has led to the killing of Kuki locals and spiralling ethnic tensions among the locals, which have hurt sentiments in the state.
Manipur violence
Violence in Manipur erupted at the start of the month when the non-tribal Meiteis community demanded the grant of schedule tribe status to them, which consists of 53% of Manipur’s population and is mostly residing in the Imphal valley. The situation escalated as the ‘Tribal Solidarity March’ on March 3 when the protest against the Meitei community erupted to decimate their demand for Schedule Tribe status in the state.
The situation led to the killing of several locals in Manipur as well as the torching of houses and firing on civilians. The eviction process for Kukis is going on in order to restore as well as rehabilitate them.
Resolving the conflict
As the violence prevailed in the state of Manipur, a curfew, or Section 144 of the CrPC (Criminal Procedure Code), was instituted in order to resolve the then-going violence in the state. The Chief Minister of the state of Manipur, N. Biren Singh, mentions how 40 terrorists have disrupted the peace of the state and how the eviction process is going on in order to protect and rehabilitate the locals.
The step to visit Manipur sounds like a way to resolve the present situation. The visit has been welcomed by locals and is an appreciated effort to maintain peace, law, and order in the city. The problem can be resolved at once. What is needed to be maintained among the locals is peace, patience, and trust in the government and procedures.
