Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday visited Churachandpur, the scene of some of the worst rioting in the recent ethnic conflict which broke out in Manipur earlier this month, to hold talks with Kuki civil society leaders. Shah is also meeting church leaders as well as intellectuals from the Kuki community to understand their grievances and find ways to bring peace to the north-eastern state, which has witnessed a series of clashes between Meiteis and Kukis.

‘Strictly deal with...’

“Reviewed the security situation in Manipur in a meeting with senior officials of the Manipur Police, CAPFs and the Indian Army in Imphal. Peace and prosperity of Manipur is our top priority, instructed them to strictly deal with any activities disturbing the peace,” Shah tweeted.
