Months after peace pact with United National Liberation Front, Manipur sees rise in extortion cases

Three months after the Union government and the Manipur government signed a peace agreement with one of the factions of the United National Liberation Front (UNLF), the oldest valley-based armed insurgent group, officials said the terms of the pact — which include monitoring of the armed cadres — are not available to the central security agencies.

A senior government official told The Hindu there has been a sharp rise in cases of extortion in the valley areas of the State “in the name of UNLF”.
