Congress seeks probe into fresh killings in Manipur, flags collapse of law and order

The Congress on Monday (April 20, 2026) demanded an immediate, time-bound probe into the latest killings in Manipur, including those of two children, and called for urgent peace measures, compensation for victims, and institutional reforms to restore normalcy in the violence-hit State.

Addressing a press conference at the old headquarters of the All India Congress Committee here, Inner Manipur MP A. Bimol Akoijam alleged that both the Centre and the State government had “abdicated responsibility” of protecting lives and ensuring peace. The party has submitted a memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking immediate intervention.
