President's Rule imposed in Manipur days after Biren Singh resigned from CM post

The Indian government imposed President's Rule in Manipur following the resignation of Chief Minister N Biren Singh amid ongoing ethnic violence.
Biren Singh resigned on February 9, 2025, sensing that a no-confidence motion against him would pass, according to Congress leader Jairam Ramesh.

President Droupadi Murmu stated that the situation in Manipur necessitated direct rule due to the failure of the state government to operate under the Constitution of India.
