CSOs in Manipur expressed that the present crisis is due to lack of foresight and inability on the part of the government to grasp the complexity of the history of the Northeastern states.
Manipur BJP president A Sharda Devi said the party had submitted a report of the crisis to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and the national party president.
The Federation of Civil Society organisation (FOCS) Manipur questioned why the responsibility was divided based on topographical differences of hill and valley.
