Feb 15, 2025

Imphal (Manipur), Feb 15 (ANI): Security has been tightened in the capital city of Imphal following the President's rule imposed in Manipur. President Droupadi Murmu imposed President's Rule in Manipur on Feb 13 after receiving a report from the state governor. The move came days after N Biren Singh resigned from his position as the Chief Minister of Manipur on Feb 9. His resignation came amid violence and political instability that had plagued the state for nearly two years. The decision means that president will now directly control the state's administrative functions through Governor.
