Manipur Governor Anusuiya Uikey on Tuesday committed to executing all necessary measures for the implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the state.

Addressing a delegation from the Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) and United Naga Council (UNC), she conveyed that discussions about the matter had already taken place with President Droupadi Murmu, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, and Home Minister Amit Shah.
