Imphal, Sep 12: The United Naga Council (UNC) has issued a 15-day ultimatum to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, demanding immediate action on the issue of seven new districts created in Manipur.
This development follows prolonged unrest and unresolved issues related to administrative changes made by the previous state government in 2016.
The UNC claims that these districts were created arbitrarily, without adequate consultation with relevant stakeholders, including Naga bodies.
They argue that this move breached several memoranda and assurances from the Indian government, which had promised no changes without comprehensive stakeholder engagement.

Protests and economic blockades ensued, prompting ten rounds of Tripartite Talks between the Government of Manipur, the UNC, and the central government. Despite various promises, no substantial resolution has been achieved.
The UNC has sent multiple communications to the Ministry of Home Affairs but received no response.
In their latest decision, the UNC has threatened to escalate agitation if their demands are not met within the 15-day deadline. They are calling for the rollback of the seven districts to restore the previous administrative structure, aiming to honor existing agreements and promote peace.
