President Rule Extended in Manipur by Another 6 Months

MANIPUR, INDIA, JUL 24 – The extension follows ongoing ethnic violence and insurgency, with over 250 deaths and 60,000 displaced, as security forces intensify operations against rebel groups, officials said.

  • The Rajya Sabha approved extending President's Rule in Manipur for six months from August 13, 2025, following its imposition on February 13, 2025.
  • President's Rule was imposed after Chief Minister N. Biren Singh resigned on February 9 amid ethnic violence and political instability caused by the BJP's leadership vacuum.
  • The violence erupted in May 2023 between the Meitei community in Imphal Valley and the Kuki-Zo tribes in the hills, resulting in over 250 deaths and displacement of 60,000 people.
  • Security forces arrested ten militants linked to banned groups across six districts and urged citizens to return over 6,000 looted police weapons, warning against spreading fake social media content.
  • The continued President's Rule aims to stabilize security and governance amid ongoing clashes, displacement, and a disrupted state legislature, while civil society voices opposition to the rule's extension.
