CM has been holding meetings to address voters' concerns over Modi's absence from Manipur at time of crisis. Congress has filed complaint saying the meetings violate Model Code of Conduct.
Malem Thongam, 26, has sought a visit by PM Modi to Manipur and for him to assist in restoring peace in the state, and the revocation of the Suspension of Operations agreement.
The accused have been named for looting more than 300 weapons, 19,800 rounds of ammunition from two rooms of the 2nd Indian Reserve Battalion headquarters at Naranseina in Bishnupur.
Ahead of LS elections, the ECI, in consultation with state and central govt, has issued directions to state commission. Around 50,000 people have been internally displaced in Manipur.
In view of volatile law-and-order situation in Churachandpur, state govt suspends mobile internet and data services for five days as a ‘preventive and precautionary measure’.
37 MLAs and 2 MPs, including a Union minister, attended a meeting called last month by Arambai Tenggol, an armed group accused of violence that seems to be getting increasingly powerful.
Manipur Police says security forces found arms and explosives in 'search operations and area domination' exercises conducted in Churachandpur in the past 24 hours.
As many as 37 MLAs of Manipur and the state’s 2 MPs answered Arambai Tenggol’s ‘summons’ for a meeting Wednesday at Imphal’s Kangla Fort, and pledged to fulfil their demands in 15 days.
In resolution adopted by assembly & signed by 35 MLAS, legislators demanded 'positive action' to control ongoing violence. MHA has sent team of senior Intelligence Bureau officers, it is learnt.
Internet services remain suspended in parts of Manipur & curfew is in place in Thoubal. One company of BSF, two columns of Army have been sent to Moreh to assist security personnel.
Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
