Violence erupted in Manipur on May 3 last year during clashes at a rally organized by the All Tribals Students Union (ATSU), prompting widespread concerns over community tensions. Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently addressed the situation in Manipur during a session in the Rajya Sabha, emphasizing the government’s efforts to restore peace and normalize conditions.
