Curfew relaxed in 3 districts, broadband internet restored with conditions
Curfew was relaxed in three Imphal Valley districts on Tuesday and the suspension on broadband internet lifted with conditions, even as Chief Minister N Biren Singh blamed the Congress for the present crisis in Manipur and NDA MLAs called for a "mass operation" against militants responsible for the killing of six women and children.
Peaceful rallies were also staged across the state, with hundreds taking to the streets with empty coffins in Churachandpur district, demanding justice for those killed in a gunfight with the security forces in Jiribam, and members of various civil society organisations bringing out a procession in Imphal West district to protest the reimposition of AFSPA in parts of the state.
Prohibitory orders were relaxed in Imphal East and West, and Kakching districts from 5 am to 10 am to facilitate the purchase of essential items "in view of improvement in law and order", separate notifications issued by district administrations said. However, restrictions on large scale gatherings or movement of persons or sit-ins continued to remain imposed.

Manipur crisis created by Congress: CM Biren Singh hits back at P Chidambaram
On Congress leader P Chidambaram's statement, Manipur CM Biren Singh said, "P Chidambaram is a senior Congress leader and I am surprised to see his 'X' handle mentioning about the division and alleging the present crisis is due to the CM of Manipur. There are a few problems that we are facing due to the ignorance of the Central leaders during the Congress time... P Chidambaram is the root cause of the present crisis."
He further said, "When he was the Home Minister in the then Congress government and Okram Ibobi Singh was the CM (of Manipur), they brought a Myanmarese foreigner, Thanglianpau Guite... That person was the chairman Zomi Re-Unification Army, which is banned in Myanmar... Here is a photograph where P Chidambadam is meeting Thanglianpau..."
"They never cared about the North East and the indigenous people... The present crisis is the problem of the illegal migrants from Myanmar and they try to dominate the indigenous people of Manipur and the entire North East... Whatever the problem is there in Manipur is created by Congress... They cannot wash their hands so easily..." the CM further added.
