Today, On 28th January, The Supreme Court has extended the tenure of the Justice Gita Mittal Committee overseeing relief and rehabilitation for victims of ethnic violence in Manipur. The extension till July 31 aims to ensure continued monitoring of support efforts there.
KOHUR has urged for an investigation into Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh’s alleged involvement in ethnic violence against the Kuki community, providing a leaked audio as evidence. The violence stemmed from tensions between the Meitei and Kuki communities, exacerbated by discriminatory policies and a court ruling. Over 140 deaths and 60,000 displacements have occurred, further fueling demands for a separate Kuki state.
