Parliament Extends Manipur's President's Rule for Six Months
The government of India is still in charge of Manipur.
This is called President's Rule, and it has been extended for another six months.
The decision was made by the Parliament, after the previous leader, Biren Singh, stepped down due to violence between different groups of people in the state.
This means the central government will continue to make decisions for Manipur instead of the state's own leaders for a longer time.
President's Rule in Manipur extended for six months by Parliament.
The resolution was passed by the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha.
President's Rule was imposed on February 13th following Biren Singh's resignation.
Singh resigned amid ethnic clashes between Meitei and Kuki-Zo-Hmar communities.
The Opposition criticized Singh's resignation as belated.
