Imphal, Jan 24: Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh announced on Thursday that the crucial session of the Manipur Assembly will be convened on February 10.
The decision was made during a Cabinet meeting held on Wednesday in Tamenglong district. The upcoming session will mark the 7th session of the 12th Manipur Legislative Assembly, constituted in March 2022.
Since the outbreak of ethnic violence in Manipur on May 3, 2023, ten tribal legislators, including seven BJP MLAs and two from the Kuki People’s Alliance, have boycotted Assembly sessions while demanding a separate administration or Union Territory for tribals in the state. Among them are two ministers, Letpao Haokip and Nemcha Kipgen, who have refrained from attending Cabinet meetings or visiting the state capital due to security concerns.
Despite their absence, no action has yet been taken by the ruling BJP against the party’s seven tribal MLAs.
The Cabinet, chaired by the Chief Minister, also discussed key initiatives, including the implementation of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban 2.0 and the Comprehensive City Mobility Plan for Imphal and Thoubal districts.
Earlier, CM Singh announced the revival of the “Go to Hills” mission, aimed at bringing administration directly to the people, citing an improvement in the state’s law and order situation.
