Not just Manipur: entire north-east needs a well-knit programme for peace and prosperity
BUSINESS ECONOMICS|August 1 - 31, 2023
On the west it is Kashmir, and now in the east it is Manipur. These are glaring examples of centre’s mishandling of the states over an extended period of time and there seems to be no clue towards a resolution of the troubles.

The entire country is shocked and agitated over what is happening in Manipur.

The long neglect has led to frequent separation movements in Manipur and in other adjoining northeastern states. We have heard of separatists’ movements in Assam, in Mizoram, in Nagaland and even a separate ‘kukiland’ in Manipur too. The entire northeast is getting more and more fragmented because of administrative neglect.
