Event Summary

On September 2, 2026, the India — Manipur Legislative Assembly unanimously passed a resolution urging the India — India to update the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Manipur before conducting the next Census. Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh moved the resolution, reaffirming earlier resolutions from August 5, 2022, and March 1, 2024. The resolution reflects ongoing concerns over demographic changes linked to alleged illegal immigration from Myanmar. The Assembly also approved supplementary grants of Rs 3,861 crore and introduced several bills. The Centre had earlier deferred census operations in Manipur amid protests, and the International — High court put a hold on census-related exercises. Home Minister Govindas Konthoujam addressed calling attention motions, stating there was no official report on a land swap deal with Myanmar and that most border fencing was complete. He appealed for peace and trust-building. The resolution is the third of its kind since 2022, indicating persistent local demands for NRC update before census.
