Ref. No.: 20250302PR                            <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On behalf of the Meitei Alliance, we extend our sincere gratitude to the Central and State Administrations for their efforts in addressing the ongoing crisis in Manipur. We deeply appreciate the decisive leadership of the Honorable Home Minister of India, and Governor of Manipur whose recent directives mark a significant step toward restoring safety, security, and social harmony in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most crucial outcomes of this initiative has been the return of arms by civilians, who had taken up weapons to protect themselves, their families, and their communities against external Kuki terrorist threats. This act reflects a renewed trust in the Central Government’s commitment to ensuring the safety of all citizens and preventing militant groups from targeting innocent civilians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We particularly commend the following recent initiatives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Dismantling the Drug Trade Network:<\/strong>\u00a0The government’s determination to dismantle the entire drug trade network is a crucial step toward securing not only the well-being of the nation\u2019s youth but also helping to stop the funding for many militant groups seeking to divide Manipur along ethnic lines.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Ensuring Free Movement:<\/strong>\u00a0The directive to guarantee free movement for the public on all roads in Manipur from March 8, 2025, will be a step toward restoring Manipur\u2019s age-old, multi-ethnic, pluralistic society. It will also help revive the state\u2019s ailing economy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Strict Action Against Extortion:<\/strong>\u00a0The firm commitment to taking stringent action against all cases of extortion reinforces the state’s dedication to protecting its citizens, keeping the national highways open, and upholding the rule of law.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Accelerating Border Fencing:<\/strong>\u00a0The accelerated construction of border fencing at key entry points along the international border with Manipur is essential for enhancing security and curbing the smuggling of arms and drugs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In addition to these commendable measures, the Meitei Alliance strongly emphasizes the importance of preserving Manipur\u2019s rich and diverse pluralistic society, where different ethnic communities have coexisted in harmony for generations. To maintain this balance, we firmly support the implementation of a robust National Register of Citizens (NRC)<\/strong> to identify illegal immigrants. This measure is critical in addressing demographic imbalances that could threaten social harmony and protecting the unique cultural heritage of our state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Furthermore, the Meitei Alliance is committed to engaging with various communities in Manipur<\/strong> to gain a deeper understanding of their perspectives and explore pathways for peaceful coexistence. Dialogue, mutual respect, and cooperation are essential in shaping a united and prosperous Manipur for future generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We remain steadfast in our commitment to working alongside the government to ensure the effective implementation of these initiatives. By fostering a sense of security, stability, and inclusivity, we can collectively pave the way for lasting peace and progress in Manipur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
