The situation in Manipur, a northeastern state of India, remains tense as separatist organizations have reportedly taken control of various areas, establishing checkpoints and challenging government authority. The unrest, which began in May of last year, has intensified over the past two weeks, with the central government struggling to maintain control.
Reports indicate that separatist groups are now using missiles and other lethal weapons in the ongoing conflict. The escalating violence and alleged human rights violations have forced many residents to arm themselves for protection.
Amnesty International recently published a report expressing concern over the violent incidents in Manipur. The organization criticized the Modi government's handling of the situation, describing it as evidence of administrative incompetence.
The Indian government, often seen as a global advocate for democracy, has maintained silence on the Manipur riots. This lack of response has drawn criticism from various quarters, including human rights organizations and opposition parties.
As the conflict continues, there are growing concerns about the erosion of government influence in the region and the potential long-term implications for the state's stability and its relationship with the central government.
