Manipur Home Minister vows firm action after four killed in attacks
Digital Desk | Imphal, Sep 14 (IANS) Manipur Home Minister Konthoujam Govindas Singh on Monday said no act of violence would be allowed to derail the state's path towards peace and normalcy, following the killing of four people, including two women, in separate attacks in Tamenglong and Noney districts. Strongly condemning the killings, Singh expressed deep anguish over the loss of innocent lives and assured that those responsible would be dealt with firmly in accordance with the law. Expressing condolences to the bereaved families and praying for the speedy recovery of those injured, the Home Minister said violence against innocent civilians was unacceptable. I have directed the concerned authorities to take all necessary measures to ascertain the facts, identify those responsible and ensure that the law takes its course without fear or favour, Singh said in a statement. Let there be no doubt: those responsible for this violence will be pursued in accordance with law and held accountable. At this critical juncture, no act of violence will be allowed to derail Manipurs path towards peace and normalcy, he said. The safety of every citizen remains paramount. The law will prevail, justice will be pursued, and peace will be protected, Singh added. Two persons, including a woman, were killed in an attack at Tollen Kuki village under Kaimai Police Station in Tamenglong district, while two others, including a woman, were shot dead at Longpi village under Nungba Police Station in Noney district, police officials said. Security forces launched a massive combing operation immediately after the attacks to track down the perpetrators, the officials said. The four victims were members of the Kuki tribal community, they added. Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh condemned the killings on Sunday and expressed deep anguish over the loss of innocent lives. Such cowardly acts of violence against innocent civilians are unacceptable and have no place in our society, the Chief Minister said in a statement issued by his office. Several organisations, besides MLAs belonging to the Kuki and Naga communities and leaders, including the Kaimai Village Authority, condemned the Tollen attack, describing it as a deliberate and malicious attempt to create disharmony and division among communities. Meanwhile, three to four houses belonging to members of the Rongmei Naga community were reportedly burnt at Khedaghar under Jiribam Police Station in Jiribam district late on Sunday evening. According to reports, the incident occurred around 12 km south of Jiribam Police Station. No injuries or casualties have been reported so far. Sources said the Rongmei Naga families had reportedly vacated their houses several weeks ago amid apprehensions of possible retaliation following an escalation in tensions between the Kuki and Naga communities. Following the incident, security personnel moved to the affected area to assess the situation and strengthen security arrangements. Security forces have been placed on high alert, with troops and Quick Action Teams kept ready for immediate deployment. Security personnel have also been directed to intensify interaction with villagers and key persons in the area to maintain vigilance and prevent any further escalation. The exact cause of the fire and the identity of those responsible are yet to be officially established. Meanwhile, the Kuki-Zo Council (KZC), the apex body of the Kuki-Zo tribal community, strongly condemned the killing of four Kuki-Zo civilians, including two women, in the separate attacks at L. Tollen and Longpi villages. KZC spokesperson and Secretary, Information and Publicity, Ginza Vualzong, alleged that the attacks highlighted the continued violence against Kuki-Zo civilians and blamed Naga armed groups operating in Manipur. The double standards of Naga leaders in Manipur and the brutality of Naga armed groups can no longer be ignored. While Naga leaders loudly demand justice for six Naga deaths, they remain silent over the 22 Kuki-Zo civilians, including women and children, reportedly killed by Naga armed groups since the beginning of 2026, the statement said. Vualzong also criticised what he described as the apparent unwillingness of Naga political and civil society leaders to pursue meaningful reconciliation and dialogue to end the Naga-Kuki-Zo violence. The KZC expressed concern over reports alleging the involvement of NSCN-IM cadres operating through or alongside ZUF-K and Naga Village Guards in the attacks. The Government of India must act decisively. NSCN-IM must not be allowed to operate with impunity in Manipur, particularly in the absence of a ceasefire agreement covering the state. Continued armed-group activity threatens civilians and risks pushing Manipur towards another full-scale conflict, the statement said.

Manipur govt urges civil society groups to withdraw agitations over NRC updation
Digital Desk | Imphal, Sep 13 (IANS) The Manipur government on Sunday urged Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to withdraw their ongoing agitations, including the closure of Central and state government offices, over their demand for updation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the state. State government spokespersons Thokchom Radheshyam Singh and Sapam Ranjan Singh, both ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLAs, said that the closure of Central and state government offices as part of the agitations by CSOs, including the Campaign for Justice and Fair Delimitation (CJFD), was causing suffering and inconvenience to the general public. They appealed to all concerned not to add more misery to the sufferings and inconveniences of the public. Addressing a press conference, Radheshyam Singh said that the state government is fully aware of the CJFD's demand and the people of Manipur also want the NRC be conducted before the Census-2027. He added that the recently held session of the Manipur Assembly reaffirmed its earlier resolution to update the NRC before the Census-2027, and Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh has conveyed the same to the Central government. Radheshyam Singh added that on the last day of the recently-concluded Assembly session, a discussion regarding the base year of the NRC with 1951 took place in the House and the matter has already been conveyed to the Union Home Ministry. He said that following the campaign by the members of the Manipur Assembly in New Delhi, the Chief Minister, too, conveyed the Central leaders about the people's desire. Consequently, the Union Home Ministry has also postponed the Census process, the spokesman said. Against this backdrop, the CJFD has intensified its agitation by calling for the closure of government offices. Such an agitation may lead to various undesirable incidents and affect the functioning of the state government, he added. Radheshyam Singh also appealed to the CJFD not to intensify the agitation and also urged the organisations not to continue such activities for a prolonged period, as protracted agitation in the state could cause greater inconvenience to the people. He appealed all the sections of the public o give peace a chance in Manipur and to support the endeavours of the current government in restoring normalcy in the state. The spokespersons also made it clear during the press meet that state Home Minister Konthoujam Govindas Singh along with some other MLAs are camping in New Delhi for the past few days to pressurise the Centre regarding the updation of NRC, 1951. They also expressed that it is highly hopeful that Centre will act as per the wishes of the people of the state. Meanwhile, the State Assembly's latest move on September 2 came amid massive agitations by various CSOs, mainly in the five districts of the Imphal Valley region -- Imphal East, Imphal West, Thoubal, Bishnupur and Kakching -- demanding the updation of the NRC before the conduct of Census-2027. The CJFD and various other CSOs have been holding massive agitations in the Imphal Valley region since August 17, demanding the updation of the NRC before the Census exercise is undertaken. A day before its pre-schedule start, the Central government on August 31 announced to defer the Census-2027 exercise in Manipur amid continuing protests and demands by various CSOs for the updation of the NRC before the conduct of the Census-2027 in the state. Meanwhile, the Kuki-Zo Council (KZC), the apex body of the Kuki-Zo tribal community in Manipur, has opposed the demand for the updation of the NRC before the Census operations in 2027. KZC Spokesperson Ginza Vualzong had said that there is no constitutional provision for conducting an NRC exercise exclusively in a particular state. The NRC is a national exercise. The Assam NRC was undertaken pursuant to the Assam Accord of 1985. Therefore, any attempt to conduct an NRC exclusively in Manipur is not only discriminatory but also unconstitutional, he added.

BJP-led NDA governments in 21 states to introduce UCC before 2029: Amit Shah
Mumbai, Sep 13: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said BJP-led NDA governments in 21 states will introduce Uniform Civil Code (UCC) before 2029. Shah was speaking to reporters here while highlighting the achievements of the Centre over the last 12 years and the BJP's 25-year journey under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. Triple talaq has been abolished, giving Muslim women equal rights. We have introduced the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in several states and I am confident that in the 21 BJP-NDA ruled states, we will introduce the UCC before 2029, Shah said. The next Lok Sabha polls are scheduled for 2029. He said the government had strengthened the country's criminal justice system through the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and claimed that several states had recorded a 30 per cent increase in the conviction rate in a single year. He also said a system was being established to ensure justice could be delivered within three years. On national security, Shah said the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A had been achieved without a single drop of blood being shed or a bullet being fired, and asserted that Kashmir was now fully integrated with India. He said the government had ended five decades of Naxalism and signed more than 14 peace agreements in the country's North-East region. More than 9,000 people have surrendered and today we have taken the North-East on the path of development, Shah said. He said surgical strikes, air strikes and Operation Sindoor have established a policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism. On being asked whether the 1951 baseline would be used for implementing National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Manipur, Shah said the Centre was holding discussions with its allies and political parties on the issue. We are discussing these issues with our allies and also with the political parties of Manipur. Whatever decision is taken, we will inform you, he said. Asked about illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators and their detection in cities such as Mumbai, Shah said the government would not disclose the tools used to identify them. You are asking the Home Minister to make the tools public and tell you how it will be done. Then how will we catch them? They will also come to know, he quipped. Shah reiterated the government's resolve to identify and deport illegal infiltrators from the country. I repeat our resolve that we will take out each and every illegal infiltrator from this country, identifying them one by one and sending them out, he said. On the government's anti-drugs campaign, Shah said he had recently launched the 'Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan' and would visit every state as part of the campaign. He said he had spoken to a chief minister the previous day and a full-day meeting would be held to ensure the campaign reaches the grassroots. It will definitely reach the grassroots and India will achieve victory over drugs, Shah said.

Methamphetamine tablets and heroin seized in Mizoram, 3 arrested
Digital Desk | Aizawl, Sep 12 (IANS) The Assam Rifles, in coordination with other law enforcement agencies, have seized methamphetamine tablets and heroin worth a total of Rs 6.35 crore in two separate operations in Mizoram and arrested three alleged drug peddlers, officials said on Saturday. A defence spokesman said that the Assam Rifles, in a swift and intelligence-led joint operation with the Seling Naka Party of the Aizawl District Executive Force (DEF) and the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), launched an operation in the Seling area on Friday night. During the operation, the joint team intercepted two vehicles and recovered 6.991 kg of methamphetamine tablets, valued at approximately Rs 5.59 crore. Two alleged drug peddlers were also apprehended. The arrested individuals and the seized contraband were handed over to the NCB for further investigation and necessary legal action under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985. The successful joint operation highlighted the close coordination, vigilance and intelligence-sharing among the Assam Rifles, NCB and Mizoram Police in effectively countering drug trafficking and other illicit activities in the state, the spokesman said. In another operation, based on credible intelligence regarding the transshipment of narcotics at Lungvar in Khawzawl district, Assam Rifles troops, in coordination with the state Excise and Narcotics Department, launched an operation in the area, conducted a search of a suspected individual, and recovered 382.03 grams of heroin, valued at approximately Rs 76.40 lakh. The seized contraband and the individual were subsequently handed over to the Excise and Narcotics Department office in Champhai for further investigation and necessary legal proceedings. The seizure reflected the Assam Rifles' continued resolve to dismantle drug-trafficking networks and ensure the safety and security of the border population in Mizoram, the statement said. Mizoram and Manipur have emerged as major drug-trafficking corridors in the Northeast due to their long and porous international borders with Myanmar and proximity to the Golden Triangle, one of the world's major illicit narcotics-producing regions. Police said the drugs were smuggled from Myanmar, whose Chin State shares an over 500-km-long border with Mizoram's Champhai, Siaha, Lawngtlai, Hnahthial, Saitual, and Serchhip districts.

Tezpur University students seek Centre's intervention, demand probe report to be made public
Digital Desk | Guwahati, Sep 11 (IANS) Students and research scholars of Tezpur University have sought the intervention of the Union Ministry of Education over the alleged delay in making public the findings of a statutory enquiry into the affairs of the central university, officials said on Friday. The students have urged the university Registrar to forward their representation to the Secretary of the Ministry of Education and the Additional Secretary, Department of Higher Education, seeking a transparent and time-bound resolution of the matter. The representation relates to a statutory enquiry constituted under Section 9 of the Tezpur University Act, 1993, and includes concerns relating to the tenure of former Vice-Chancellor Prof Shambhu Nath Singh, whom the students have described as absconding. According to the representation, the enquiry committee was constituted on December 31, 2025, and was required to submit its report by March 31, 2026. The students said the committee has completed its proceedings and submitted its report, but its findings and any consequential decisions have not yet been made public. The students have also flagged a range of unresolved issues concerning the university, including student welfare, shortage of funds, prolonged administrative uncertainty and the delay in conducting the convocation for the 2025 graduating batch. They have questioned whether the prolonged delay in resolving these issues amounts to retaliation against stakeholders who had raised allegations of corruption. The students have demanded disclosure of the enquiry findings, clarity on action taken against the former Vice-Chancellor, fixing of responsibility wherever wrongdoing is established, release of pending funds and resolution of the delayed convocation. They have also sought a written acknowledgement and response from the Union Ministry of Education. The students warned that failure to provide meaningful communication could lead to an escalation of their protest, including a complete shutdown of university functioning. They further said stakeholders could make public documents and evidence submitted before various fact-finding and enquiry committees if their concerns remain unaddressed. The representation also referred to a Citizens Convention held in Guwahati in December 2025, where stakeholders had discussed the possibility of constituting an independent public enquiry committee comprising educationists, RTI activists, human rights defenders, retired university faculty and retired High Court judges. The students said their demands were aimed at restoring transparency, institutional accountability and trust in the university administration. The statutory enquiry was essentially triggered by the prolonged crisis at Tezpur University and allegations against then Vice-Chancellor Prof Shambhu Nath Singh, including alleged financial and administrative irregularities, administrative breakdown, academic concerns and his prolonged absence from the campus. Student and faculty protests had intensified from September 2025, eventually leading the Centre to intervene. The Ministry of Education constituted a three-member enquiry panel on December 31, 2025, while directing Singh to proceed on leave and recuse himself from all duties until the enquiry was completed. The panel, headed by Manipur University VC Prof N. Lokendra Singh, with Nagaland University VC Prof Jagadish Kumar Patnaik and UGC Secretary Prof Manish R. Joshi as members, was tasked with examining all matters pertaining to the ongoing situation at the university, including allegations against the VC. This followed an earlier fact-finding exercise ordered by the Assam Governor, who is the university's Chancellor, in October 2025.

Mizoram: Drugs, contraband worth Rs 14.77 crore seized; 5 Myanmar nationals among 6 held
Digital Desk | Aizawl, Sep 10 (IANS) The Mizoram Police, in a series of operations, have seized highly addictive methamphetamine tablets, heroin and other contraband worth Rs 14.77 crore and arrested six drug peddlers, including five Myanmar nationals, officials said on Thursday. A senior police official said that a special team of police conducted random checks at Kualmawi in the Keifang area of Saitual district and recovered and seized 12.746 kg of methamphetamine tablets, with an estimated value of approximately Rs 10.20 crore. The drugs were recovered from the possession of Chinzalian (26) and Thiankhatmuanga (27), both residents of Rangoon in Myanmar. In another operation, a Mizoram Police team, while conducting random checking at Chalbawia Junction, Khankawn Police Checkgate, recovered and seized 994 grams of methamphetamine tablets worth Rs 79.52 lakh from the possession of a passenger travelling in a Maxi cab. The accused was identified as Hrang Thawm Hnim (39), a resident of Sathmuhzung in neighbouring Myanmar. In the third operation, a police team in Champhai district, while on duty at Chalbawia Junction, Khankawn Police Checkgate, recovered and seized 141 grams of heroin with an approximate local market value of Rs 28.20 lakh from the possession of two male passengers travelling in a vehicle proceeding from Zokhawthar towards Aizawl. The accused were identified as Awngminnine (19) and Bawithawng (18), both residents of Myanmar. In another operation, police in Kolasib district, while on duty at Phaisen Police Checkgate, intercepted a Mahindra Scorpio travelling from Aizawl towards Karimganj in southern Assam. Upon inspection of the vehicle, 3.910 kg of methamphetamine tablets, valued at Rs 3.2 crore, were recovered and seized. In connection with the seizure, Guljar Hussain (23), a resident of Karimganj district, was arrested. In the fifth operation, police in Champhai district, while on duty at Chalbawia Junction, Khankawn Police Checkgate, recovered and seized 3,360 kg (42 bags) of dry areca nuts (Burmese betel nuts) worth Rs 30 lakh from a truck. No valid trade licence, transportation permit or any other documentation was available for the seized items, which are strongly suspected to have been smuggled from Myanmar. Police said that the drugs were smuggled from Myanmar, as six Mizoram districts -- Champhai, Siaha, Lawngtlai, Hnahthial, Saitual and Serchhip -- share a 510-km-long border with the neighbouring country's Chin State. Police officials suspect that the methamphetamine tablets, which are banned in India, were smuggled from Myanmar, which shares a 1,643-km-long international border with four Northeastern states -- Arunachal Pradesh (520 km), Manipur (398 km), Nagaland (215 km) and Mizoram (510 km). Substantial stretches of the international border remain unfenced, making the region vulnerable to cross-border trafficking of drugs, particularly heroin and methamphetamine tablets. Mizoram and Manipur have emerged as major drug-trafficking corridors in the Northeast due to their long and porous international borders with Myanmar and their proximity to the Golden Triangle, one of the world's major illicit narcotics-producing regions.
