President's Rule in Manipur to be Extended by Amit Shah
The government wants to keep control of Manipur for longer.
The leader in charge of the country's safety is asking for permission to keep the government under his control in Manipur.
This is because the state has seen violence between different groups.
The government took over the state's leadership in February, after the state's leader quit.
They now want to keep control until early 2026.
The local leaders are not happy, but some community leaders want the rule to continue until they can discuss separating from the state.
Amit Shah seeks extension of President's rule in Manipur.
President's rule was imposed on February 13, after CM's resignation.
Extension is proposed until February 13, 2026.
The state assembly remains under suspended animation until 2027.
Kuki-Zo MLAs support continued President's rule for separate administration discussions.
