Centre Extends Deadline for Commission Probing 2023 Manipur Violence to May 2027
The Centre has extended the deadline for the Commission of Inquiry investigating the 2023 Manipur ethnic violence by six months, now requiring the report by May 20, 2027. The three-member panel, currently led by former Supreme Court judge Balbir Singh Chauhan, was formed in June 2023 following violence that claimed over 260 lives. The commission is examining the causes, sequence of events, administrative responses, and any lapses related to the violence triggered by protests against the Meitei community's demand for Scheduled Tribe status.
