New York, Sep 27: External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said on Tuesday that efforts are being made in Manipur by the central and state governments to find a way that will help bring about normalcy in the valley.
He said there is adequate law-and-order enforcement. I think one part of the problem in Manipur has been the destabilising impact of migrants who have come.
S. Jaishankar made this statement at the Council on Foreign Relations in response to a question on the situation in the northeastern state of India.
“But there are also tensions, which obviously have a long history, that precede that. And today, I think the effort is on the part of the state government and the Union government to find a way by which a sense of normalcy returns, that arms that were seized during that period are recovered, and that there is adequate law-and-order enforcement out there so that incidents of violence don’t happen,” he said.

Earlier this month, United Nations (UN) experts raised an alarm about reports of serious human rights violations and abuses in Manipur.
The UN experts had expressed concerns over reports on alleged acts of sexual violence, extrajudicial killings, home destruction, forced displacement, torture and ill-treatment.
“We are appalled by the reports and images of gender-based violence targeting hundreds of women and girls of all ages, and predominantly of the Kuki ethnic minority. The alleged violence includes gang rape, parading women naked in the street, severe beatings causing death, and burning them alive or dead,” the UN experts said.
