Former Manipur CM N. Biren spoke to the media after he called on the Manipur Governor at Raj Bhawan on Tuesday evening.
The former CM stated he called on Governor Shri Ajay Kumar Bhalla at Raj Bhawan today and had a detailed discussion on a range of pressing issues concerning the State, including issues regarding the Gwaltabi incident and efforts to resolve the tensions arising from it.
He also spoke on the initiatives taken under the BJP-led Government in line with the Ministry of Home Affairs’ 30-day directive — from biometric registration and verification drives to the deportation of undocumented foreign nationals.
With major influxes of refugees from Myanmar in 1962, 1988, and again after the 2021 military coup, the scale and complexity of identifying undocumented immigrants in Manipur is unprecedented.
Given the complexity and scale of the task, he also requested the Hon’ble Governor to seek an extension of the 30-day deadline issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs. These measures are vital for ensuring national security and preserving Manipur’s cultural fabric.
