Manipur Authorities Conduct Searches After Killing of Three Meitei Youths Amid SoO Pact Expiry
Manipur's Home Minister Govindas Konthoujam confirmed ongoing search operations to arrest those involved in the killing of three Meitei youths in Kangpokpi district.

The SoO agreement expired in early September and has not been renewed amid public opposition. Authorities emphasized impartial action across all ethnic camps to restore law and order amid ongoing ethnic tensions in the region.
