Demand to Update NRC Before Census and Delimitation in Manipur, Emphasis on Tripartite Talks

Various organizations in Manipur have intensified their demands regarding the upcoming census and delimitation exercise. Meitei and Naga organizations have demanded that the government should update the NRC in the state before starting the census and delimitation process.

These organizations believe that updating the NRC will clarify the demographic situation of the state, which is necessary for delimitation. Discussions are ongoing between various parties regarding this demand.

According to reports, a demand for tripartite talks has been made to find a solution to this sensitive issue. It is proposed to include representatives of the state government, the central government, and the concerned organizations.

Issues related to demographic changes and citizenship in Manipur have been a topic of discussion for a long time. The organizations argue that conducting the census and delimitation without updating the NRC could create complications in the future.

Various organizations have expressed their concerns in this regard and urged the government to consider this seriously. They say that taking this step is mandatory for the security and identity of the state.

The demand for tripartite talks is being seen as an important step in this direction. This will provide a platform for all concerned parties to present their views and could help in reaching a consensus-based solution.

No final decision has been taken by the government on this demand yet, but discussions on this subject have intensified. Efforts are ongoing to build a consensus on this issue among the various communities of Manipur.

It will be important to see in the coming time what stance the government takes on the demands of these organizations and whether tripartite talks are organized. Solving this issue is considered necessary to maintain peace and stability in the state.
