The government of India has constituted a peace committee in Manipur under the chairpersonship of State Governor Anusuiya Uikey to facilitate the peacemaking process among various ethnic groups. The Committee, which comprises Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh, some State Ministers, MPs, MLAs and leaders from different political parties, will hold peaceful dialogue and negotiations among conflicting parties and groups.
The mandate of the Committee is also to strengthen social cohesiveness, mutual understanding and facilitate cordial communication among various ethnic groups. Former civil servants, educationists, litterateurs, artists, social workers and representatives of different ethnic groups are also part of the Committee. Last month during his visit to Manipur, Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced the constitution of the Peace Committee after taking stock of the situation.
