Manipur: President's Rule Extended for Six Months
Imagine Manipur is like a game, and the rules aren't working right now.
Because of problems, the President of India is taking over running the state for a while.
This means the state's government stops making the rules, and the people in charge of the whole country, like Parliament, will make them instead.
The President's rule can last a few months while things get sorted out, and then the people can vote for a new government.
President's rule in Manipur has been extended for six months, until February 13, 2026.
The extension was approved by the Rajya Sabha.
President's rule was initially imposed on February 13, after the resignation of the Chief Minister.
The central government now directly controls state administrative functions through the Governor.
The Manipur Legislative Assembly's powers are transferred to Parliament.
