Union Home Minister Amit Shah reviewed the security situation in violence-stricken Manipur during a meeting with senior officials in Delhi on Sunday.
According to sources familar with the development, a detailed discussion is slated for Monday at noon.
The unrest follows the grim discovery of six bodies in Jiribam district, identified as three women and three children who had been missing since a clash between security forces and militants earlier in the week.
The victims, reportedly from Meitei communities, had been living in a relief camp and were allegedly abducted by Kuki militants.
Authorities imposed a curfew in Imphal West and East districts, along with internet suspensions across seven districts, in response to widespread protests and violent attacks on the residences of several MLAs. Mobs vandalised properties, further escalating tensions in the region.
Reports indicate that the violence began on November 11 when militants attacked a police station in Borobekra. Although security forces thwarted the assault, killing 11 militants, the retreating assailants allegedly kidnapped six individuals from a nearby relief camp.
In light of the incident, Shah convened senior officials to address the volatile situation.
The Union Home Minister’s planned meeting on Monday is expected to provide a comprehensive review of the measures needed to stabilise the state.
The crisis in Manipur has drawn significant political attention, with Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma's National People's Party (NPP) withdrawing its support from the BJP-led Manipur government amid the growing instability.
The six victims’ bodies were recovered after an extensive operation launched by security forces.
Meanwhile, the curfew and internet restrictions remain in place as authorities attempt to restore order in the troubled state.
