Ethnic Violence and Administrative Divisions Persist in Manipur Amid Government Efforts
Manipur continues to face ethnic violence primarily between Kuki and Naga communities, with recent clashes causing at least nine deaths and ongoing instability across hill districts. Despite hopes for peace following the dissolution of the previous government and the appointment of a new chief minister with inclusive deputies, deep divisions persist. The conflict has also led to ethnic segregation within administrative and civil services, complicating governance. Prime Minister Modi has pledged support to the state government, but lasting normalcy remains uncertain without sustained efforts.
