Amit Shah holds series of meetings in Manipur

Union home minister Amit Shah held a series of whirlwind meetings after landing in Manipur on Monday evening.

He has already met the state’s ministers and the Governor is on the list too. Manipur is being ravaged by ethnic violence for nearly a month.

Shah is likely to stay in the violence-hit state for the next few days and meet all the stakeholders — top army officials, civil society organisations and influential community leaders — to finalise a strategy to curb the ethnic violence.

Top officials said Shah may visit some of the districts populated by both Meities and Kuki tribals, who have been in conflict since May 3. Some of these districts are located on the Myanmar borders.
