Amit Shah to Review Manipur Security as CM's Visit to Churachandpur Faces Opposition
Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to review Manipur's security situation in New Delhi amid ongoing ethnic violence between Kuki-Zo and Meitei communities, which has caused at least 40 deaths since February 2026. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh plans to visit Churachandpur, a Kuki-Zo-majority district, to attend BJP MLA Vungzagin Valte's funeral. However, Kuki civil society groups have enforced a shutdown opposing the visit, citing lack of trust since the 2023 violence. Fresh clashes and firing were reported near the Bishnupur-Churachandpur border, highlighting continued tensions.
