Former Manipur chief minister Biren Singh raises alarm over refugee settlements in Manipur

Former Manipur CM N Biren Singh raised concerns over refugees' settlement in Manipur predating its statehood. Official records from the 1960s-70s reveal over 1,500 refugee families were settled with authorities’ knowledge. This influx, Singh argues, has impacted the demographic structure and warrants a thorough reevaluation to address integration and legal statuses.
