In light of the ongoing situation, authorities have imposed a curfew in several valley districts since September 10 to maintain law and order. Shah reported that, despite recent violence, there has been a notable period of calm over the past three days, which offers hope for stabilization.
“Our discussions with both communities are crucial,” Shah stated. “We have a roadmap that outlines various initiatives aimed at addressing the situation in Manipur.” He confirmed that backdoor meetings have been taking place between government representatives and lawmakers from both the Meitei and Kuki groups in locations outside of Manipur.
Additionally, Shah highlighted the government’s efforts to enhance border security, noting that fencing along the India-Myanmar border has begun. This initiative, part of a larger strategy to prevent infiltration, covers a stretch of 1,643 kilometers, with 30 kilometers of fencing already completed.
The Union Home Minister also announced plans for the long-awaited decadal census, stating that details will be shared soon. Originally scheduled for April 2020, the census was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Shah reassured that information regarding a caste-based census would be made public when the census is conducted.
In the first 100 days of the Modi 3.0 government, Shah reported that projects worth ₹15 lakh crore have been initiated across various sectors to bolster employment and enhance national security.
