Manipur government pledges action on demands to halt NRC and Census

The Manipur government has assured action on demands to halt the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and Census processes, according to statements made in response to civil society pressure. The assurance came following continued activism by the Joint Fact-Finding Document (JFD), a civil body that has been pressing the government to address a five-point charter of demands centered on halting these processes.

The NRC updation has emerged as a key point of contention in the JFD's ongoing movement. The civil organisation has maintained its focus on this issue as part of its broader agenda to influence government policy on both NRC and Census implementation in the state.

As the government works to address these concerns, it has sought cooperation from the public. This appeal for public support comes as officials navigate the demands raised by the JFD and work toward implementing the promised action on the organisation's key concerns.
