Students in Manipur have staged protests amid the ongoing crisis in the state, with tensions high as security forces oversee the demonstrations. The protesters are calling for the removal of the state’s Security Adviser and the transfer of the Unified Command to the state government, reflecting dissatisfaction with the current management of the situation and a push for increased local control over security operations.
The involvement of students from various schools and colleges underscores the significant impact of the conflict on the region’s youth. The demonstrators reportedly attempted to breach the Chief Minister’s residence and the Governor’s Raj Bhawan, followed by a sit-in protest outside the Raj Bhawan, underscoring their determination to highlight the crisis.
These actions and demands may prompt the government to reassess the existing security measures and governance to better address the conflict and align with local expectations.
