Fresh violence in Manipur has resulted in at least nine deaths since September 1, with six people killed recently in the Jiribam district. The clashes between the Meitei and Kuki communities continue despite previous peace talks. Chief Minister N. Biren Singh has held multiple meetings with the Governor and ruling coalition MLAs, discussing the deteriorating situation and calling for urgent intervention by the Central government. Anti-drone systems have been deployed to counter sophisticated attacks, and army helicopters are monitoring the area. The Chief Minister seeks control over the unified command to streamline security operations, though this move has met with mixed reactions among MLAs.
