Manipur CM skips North Eastern Council meeting chaired by Amit Shah in Shillong

Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh skipped the North Eastern Council (NEC) meeting chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Shillong on January 19.

Officials said that Mr. Singh did not attend the meeting due to the prevailing law and order situation in the State that has been affected by ethnic violence between the tribal Kuki-Zo and Meitei people since May 2023. At least six people, including two police personnel, were killed in various incidents of violence in the State in the past three days.

The Chief Ministers and Governors of Sikkim and all the seven Northeastern States were present at the meeting.
