There is an urgent call for all proscribed armed groups in Manipur to abide by Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions. This is not just a diplomatic appeal; it is a desperate cry for our shared humanity, and it is one I wholeheartedly echo, says MC Meetei.

The Court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) in Imphal West on October 28 rejected the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) closure report and ordered the initiation of criminal proceedings against 12 police and Assam Rifles personnel for the alleged fake encounter killings of two civilians, Nameirakpam Gobin and Nameirakpam Nobo, in 2009.

Atem, VC, at Ukhrul headquarters, Manipur, on Wednesday (October 22), was a potent mix of personal reflection and political assertion. Muivah cited two key accords—the 2002 Amsterdam Joint Communiqué and the 2015 Framework Agreement—as the foundational pillars for a settlement, asserting that they officially recognize Nagalim’s (the proposed sovereign Naga state) “unique history and sovereignty.”

A society that fails to honour the labour of art cheapens its own culture. True respect for an artiste means valuing not just the performance, but the person, their livelihood, their effort, and their right to fair treatment.

The people’s anguish turned to pain upon learning the demolition was a premeditated act by the Manipur government. In response to the public fury, the state-controlled Planning and Development Authority (PDA) offered a controversial clarification, claiming the building’s total demolition was a necessary step for its “reconstruction/restoration,” a justification that has done little to quell the public outcry.
