In the midst of Manipur's ethnic strife, Chief Minister N Biren Singh emphasized the need for strategic handling of the situation to secure a better future for the indigenous people. Singh made these remarks during the state-level International Yoga Day function at Khuman Lampak Sports Complex.

Singh described the current scenario as a critical juncture for the state's indigenous population. "We shouldn't allow emotions and politics to drive our actions, and in the process divert from the core issues. We know we are tired... but we have to endure it for a few more days. We cannot be happy without going through a tough phase," he said.

Ethnic violence between the Kuki-Zo people and the Meiteis has led to over 200 deaths and displaced thousands since May last year, marking a turbulent period for Manipur.
