Tripartite talk on the Manipur new district creation issue will be held on November 29 in Senapati district headquarters on the Manipur new district creation issue. Sources from the United Naga Council (UNC) members of its talk team are “now all stationed” in Senapati district headquarters for the talk. The talk will begin at 10 am, the sources added.
It can be mentioned here that, earlier AK Mishra had invited the Naga body to hold the next round of the talk in Senapati on November 13, 2024. However, the UNC had expressed its inability to hold the talk on the said date. Following the request by the United Naga Council (UNC) to AK Mishra, Advisor (North East), Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, to reschedule the date for the next tripartite talk on the Manipur new district creation issue, the talk was postponed to November 29, 2024.
It can also be recalled here that the Manipur new district creation issue tripartite talks involving the Central government, the United Naga Council (UNC) and the Government of Manipur resumed on October 11, 2024, in New Delhi after a long hiatus.
It is also worth noting here that, the Government of Manipur had created the seven new districts on December 8, 2016. In protest against that act of the Manipur Government, the UNC had imposed 139 days of economic blockade along the national highways which pass through Manipur. After the lifting of the blockade, the first round of talk was held on March 19, 2017 followed by several rounds of talk.
