President’s Rule Imposed in Disturbed Manipur in India’s Northeast

President's Rule has been imposed in Manipur due to the Bharatiya Janata Party's inability to find a successor to N. Biren Singh, marking the 11th instance of this imposition in the State.
The ongoing ethnic violence between the Meiteis and Kuki-Zo communities since May 2023 has resulted in over 60,000 people being displaced, suffering trauma and loss of livelihoods.
The imposition allows for potential peace talks, while also addressing the militarization of civil society due to the emergence of armed groups identified as 'village volunteers'.
With the Assembly in suspended animation, the Union government has the opportunity to work towards restoring peace and law before considering elections.
