Minister for Power, Forest and Agriculture Biswajit Singh state BJP President Adhikarimayum Sharda Devi also accompanied the Chief Minister.
Source said that the issue of the ongoing Suspension of Operation (SoO) with the Kuki militant outfits of the state is also likely to be discussed besides the ethnic violence and subsequent development.
As many as the 10 tribal MLAs belonging to the Chin-Kuki-Mizo-Zomi had sought separate administration in the wake of recent violent clashes between the non-tribal Meiteis and the tribals.
Over 70 people were killed and several injured in the ethnic violence, clashes, rampant arsoning, indiscriminate vandalisation, random destruction of government and private properties broke out in Manipur after a ‘Tribal Solidarity March’ organised in the 10 hill districts on May 3 to protest against the Meitei community’s demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status.
Manipur government’s security advisor Kuldiep Singh said that since May 3, 71 people have died, among which 41 fell prey to the ethnic violence, while others died due to various other causes, including drug overdoses.
He said a total of 339 cases of attack and arsoning have been registered.
