Manipur Sees Political Talks and Protests Demanding NRC Before 2027 Census

Protests, including rallies and strikes, have led to police intervention and injuries. The protesters also call for the return of internally displaced persons before census activities begin. State leaders are reportedly discussing cabinet expansion in New Delhi amid these tensions.
