July 03, 2023

The Supreme Court seeks a detailed status report from the Manipur government on the measures taken to curb ethnic violence in the state, the steps taken for rehabilitation camps for homeless and violence-affected people, the deployment of forces, and the law and order situation. The Supreme Court posts the matter for hearing on July 10.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta appearing for the Centre and Manipur government tells the court that the situation is improving in the state, though slowly. Solicitor General says that apart from civil police, Manipur rifles, companies of CAPF, 114 columns of army and Manipur Commandos are there. Solicitor General requests counsel for the Manipur Tribal Forum to not give any communal angle to the issue.
