A fresh round of tripartite meetings is set to take place in Senapati district to address the ongoing dispute over the creation of seven new districts in Manipur, according to officials.
The districts were established in 2016 by the then Congress government led by O Ibobi Singh, amid opposition from the United Naga Council (UNC), who claim the districts encroach on ancestral Naga lands.
The last meeting in November failed to produce results, with government representatives unable to present a concrete proposal. The UNC strongly criticized this, demanding a concrete proposal in this week's talks.
