Manipur DGP Admits Police Alone Can’t Control Escalating Ethnic Violence

In violence-torn Manipur, where tensions between the Meiteis and hill-based Kukis are intensifying, DGP Rajiv Singh admitted that the police alone cannot manage the escalating unrest. The conflict has now seen militants using drones for attacks, further deepening the crisis. Over 200 lives have been lost since May, with recent drone and gunfire attacks killing two and injuring twelve in Imphal West. Singh emphasized the need for central forces, acknowledging the state police’s limitations and the crucial role of central support in addressing the situation.
