Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh resigned on Sunday, nearly two years after the ethnic violence broke out in the north-eastern state. He handed over the letter of resignation from the post of Chief Minister to Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla at the Raj Bhavan in Imphal
Singh's resignation came nearly two years after the ethnic violence marred the northeastern state. The violence between the Meitei and the Kuki communities in Manipur erupted after a rally by the All Tribal Students Union of Manipur (ATSUM) on May 3, 2023, following the Manipur High Court order directing the state to consider the inclusion of the Meitei community in the Scheduled Tribes list.
