Manipur's Chief Minister reported a loss of ₹1,200 crore in Goods and Services Tax revenue due to ongoing ethnic unrest, highlighting the economic impact of the conflict.
Manipur's Chief Minister announced that the state has suffered a loss of ₹1,200 crore in Goods and Services Tax (GST) revenue as a result of escalating ethnic unrest.
The figure, released by the state government, underscores the financial toll of the disturbances that have disrupted commercial activities across the region.
Officials say the unrest has deterred businesses from operating in affected areas, leading to a sharp decline in taxable transactions and a corresponding drop in GST collections.
The loss is expected to strain the state's budget and could affect funding for public services and development projects.
The government has urged calm and has pledged to restore normalcy to safeguard economic stability.
