Thousands gathered in Manipur to demand the resignation of the state government and issued a final appeal to the central government for intervention.
Earlier this week, a massive public rally unfolded across Manipur, drawing thousands of participants from various districts. The demonstrators gathered in a coordinated march, chanting slogans that called for the immediate resignation of the incumbent state government.
Organisers of the protest framed the gathering as a "final call" to the Union government, urging New Delhi to step in and enforce a change in leadership. They argued that the current administration has failed to address key issues affecting the region, and that only a central intervention can restore stability.
The rally remained peaceful, with no reports of violence or clashes with security forces. Police presence was noted, but authorities allowed the demonstration to proceed without incident. The demand for resignation and the appeal to the Centre constitute the primary demands voiced by the crowd.
State officials have not yet issued an official response to the protestors' demands, and the central government has not commented publicly on the matter. The situation continues to be monitored as political stakeholders assess the implications of the mass mobilization.
