Manipur Protests Continue Over NRC Demands Ahead of 2027 Census
In Manipur, the Campaign for Just Fair Delimitation (JFD) continues its anti-Census movement, demanding the National Register of Citizens (NRC) update and rehabilitation of internally displaced persons before the 2027 Census. Protests under the slogan "No NRC, No Census" have involved multiple ethnic groups and led to clashes with police, resulting in injuries to some demonstrators. Authorities have not postponed the Census, scheduled to begin August 17, despite ongoing demonstrations and calls for a boycott.
