The Lok Sabha on 28 July, Wednesday, passed a resolution approving the extension of President's Rule in Manipur by another six months beyond 13 August, with the government asserting that peace is prevailing in the northeastern state.
What can be a bigger proof of peace returning there than the fact that since President's Rule was imposed, there has been only one fatality with no casualties in the last four months, asked minister of state Nityanand Rai.
It is important to have President's Rule in Manipur for ensuring that peace is established, he said.
"I want to say that there is peace prevailing there...the law and order situation is also under control. Full efforts are being made to remove differences between the two ethnic communities through dialogue to establish permanent peace," he said.
