Overview

  • Arambai Tenggol cited misuse of its bandh by anti-social elements when it announced suspension of its 10-day shutdown on June 10, but it continues to demand the unconditional release of leader A. Kanan Singh.
  • The Manipur government relaxed prohibitory orders in Imphal West, Imphal East and Bishnupur districts while maintaining bans on activities deemed disruptive to public order.
  • Violent demonstrations since Singh’s June 7 CBI arrest involved roadblocks, arson and clashes in five valley districts that left at least 21 people wounded and two police personnel injured.
  • Internet and mobile data services remain suspended under a five-day order aimed at curbing misinformation even as security forces maintain heightened vigilance.
  • Former CM N. Biren Singh and Rajya Sabha MP Leishemba Sanajaoba met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi on June 9 to seek central support for restoring stability.
