Manipur police chief Rajiv Singh emphasized that peaceful dialogue is essential for resolving the ongoing ethnic conflict between the Meitei and Kuki communities in the state. Speaking at the 134th Raising Day in Imphal, he acknowledged the challenges faced but noted an improvement in violence over the past year, with a significant recovery of illegal arms and ammunition. Singh urged both communities to engage in discussions, highlighting that the Manipur Police aims to be a civilian-friendly force and has avoided actions that could harm innocent lives. This initiative underscores the importance of community cooperation in restoring peace and normalcy in the region, reflecting a broader strategy of addressing internal conflicts through dialogue and reconciliation.
