As NRC demand intensifies, Manipur community leaders leave for Delhi
Although a 48-hour shutdown ended on August 19, educational institutes continue to be shut due to another round of agitation
A delegation of 10 community and organizational leaders from Manipur departed for New Delhi on Thursday, August 20, 2026, amid ongoing unrest in the Imphal Valley. Their mission was to advocate for an updated National Register of Citizens (NRC) ahead of the State's upcoming Census. This group, representing members from the Meitei, Pangal (Manipuri Muslims), Naga, and various indigenous communities, joined a protest that coincided with a boycott of Central and State government offices in Manipur.
