In a significant development, multiple members of the Manipur Legislative Assembly convened in New Delhi on Tuesday to address the persistent ethnic violence plaguing their state for over a year. Representatives from the Kuki-Zo-Hmar, Meitei, and Naga communities gathered to deliberate on the critical situation in Manipur. The assembly members unanimously called for peace, urging all communities to abandon violence to prevent further loss of innocent lives.
Meanwhile, the Coordinating Committee, known as CorCom, has declared a 12-hour statewide shutdown on October 15, marking what they term “National Black Day.” This protest is in response to the alleged forced annexation of Manipur by India on October 15, 1949. The shutdown is set to begin at 6 AM and conclude at 6 PM, reflecting deep-seated tensions and historical grievances that continue to impact the region.
As Manipur grapples with these challenges, the urgent call from its elected leaders for peace and dialogue highlights the critical need for unity and resolution in the face of enduring ethnic divides.
