The three-member Commission of Inquiry, constituted by the Centre in early June to comprehensively investigate the ethnic conflict underway in Manipur, will hold public hearings at its head office in Imphal and at its camp office in Delhi.
The Commission of Inquiry (Manipur Violence) is headed by Justice Ajay Lamba, former Chief Justice of the Gauhati High Court, and also includes one retired IAS officer and one retired IPS officer. It was set up in June after Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to the conflict-ridden State in late May.
In the regulations of procedure stipulated by the Commission and notified by the Manipur Gazette last month, the Commission had said that two primary offices had been allotted to it for its sittings. The first is its head office in Room 104 of the Hotel Imphal (By The Classic) in Imphal, and the other is a camp office, which will be run from Room 13 on the first floor of the Heritage Building in the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium in the national capital.
