Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh convened an emergency cabinet meeting following a surge in violence that has resulted in at least seven deaths and numerous injuries in the state. The violence included a drone bombing attributed to Kuki militants, which Singh condemned as an act of terrorism. Amid escalating tensions, he met with Governor L. Acharya to discuss the situation and requested more authority for the state to counter external threats. The BJP, facing internal discontent over candidate selections, remains supportive of Singh, dismissing rumors of his resignation. In a related development, security measures are being heightened across the region, including the installation of anti-drone systems. Meanwhile, preparations are underway for Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren's visit to Gua for a public meeting, emphasizing security and logistical arrangements.
