Manipur Governor Airlifted Amidst Escalating Meitei Protest Tensions
Manipur Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla was airlifted by an Army helicopter on Monday to bypass significant protests during his short journey from Imphal airport to Raj Bhawan, a distance of just six kilometers. The protests, organized by the Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI), saw hundreds of protesters forming a human chain on Tiddim Road. They were opposing the removal of the state’s name from a government bus, a move that has stirred local sentiments. This rapid transport decision underscores the heightened tensions in the region. As events unfold, more details will be provided.
