Following fresh violence in Manipur that resulted in the deaths of nine people, MoS Rajkumar Ranjan Singh and BJP MP from Inner Manipur constituency have called for tightened security and better monitoring of the situation. The clashes were preceded by ethnic disputes, with repeated bouts of violence over the last few days. Rajkumar Ranjan Singh suggested that peace committees could help normalise the situation, and called for the removal of false news and propaganda. The Manipur government has extended its ban on internet access in the state until June 15th, and suspected militant groups are being investigated regarding their potential involvement in the killings. Union Home Minister Amit Shah visited the state at the end of May and held various talks to try and restore peace.
