Kiren Rijiju asks Manipur government to bring back normalcy in state

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Friday asked the Manipur government to bring back normalcy in the state by removing the economic blockade imposed by a Naga group on its highway as he embarks on a day-long visit to Manipur.

“There is a constitutional duty of the state government to bring back normalcy and they should ensure that there is no blockade along the highway,” Rijiju told PTI.

Rijiju, Minister of State for Home Affairs, said the ground situation in Manipur continues to be worrisome and the Central government wants that law and order prevail in the state.

“I will talk to the state government and will try to find out a solution,” he said.
