The Reason for the Violence
Violent conflicts are taking place in Manipur as a result of a plan to give the state’s dominant Metei group scheduled tribal status. Tribal confrontations broke out on Wednesday as a result of a “Tribal Solidarity March” coordinated by opponents of the plan from the Naga and Kuki tribes. Dr. Rajkumar Ranjan Singh, the minister of state for education and a member of the BJP from Manipur, comments on the NTA’s decision to postpone the NEET (UG)-2023 exam for applicants who were assigned Manipur exam centres: ‘I had requested them to postpone the exam, in the current situation. The new exam date will be set. 5751 aspirants were expected to show up at the two Manipur locations.’
