Additional Central Forces Deployed in Manipur Amid Escalating Security ConcernsPreviousNext

Manipur is experiencing a deepening security crisis marked by escalating ethnic tensions and violence, including conflicts between Meitei, Kuki, and Naga groups. In response, the Ministry of Home Affairs has deployed additional central security forces, including CoBRA commandos and ITBP personnel, bringing specialized jungle warfare units from anti-Naxal operations. Despite increased troop presence, sources emphasize that restoring order requires effective political leadership alongside security measures. The reinforcements aim to secure key areas and manage ongoing unrest amid concerns over militant activities.
