IMPHAL: Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Tuesday issued a formal apology for the ethnic violence that has plagued the state, resulting in the loss of over 250 lives and displacing thousands of families.

He appealed to all communities to forgive past grievances, forget previous mistakes, and work toward rebuilding a peaceful and prosperous state.

Speaking to reporters, Singh expressed his deep regret over the ongoing crisis, acknowledging the profound impact on the people of Manipur.

He emphasised that despite the devastating conflict, there has been a noticeable decline in violence in recent months, offering hope for the restoration of peace in the coming year.

“I sincerely apologise for the tragic events that unfolded in our state. Many have lost loved ones, and many have been forced to leave their homes. I deeply regret this and extend my heartfelt apology,” Singh said.

“However, the relative peace we’ve seen in the past three to four months gives me optimism that we can restore normalcy in the new year.”

Singh called on all communities to move forward, urging them to forgive and forget the mistakes of the past, and to unite in creating a peaceful environment.

“Let us begin anew, leaving behind our differences, and strive to live together harmoniously for a prosperous future in Manipur.”

The chief minister also shared positive developments in terms of reducing violence since the ethnic conflict erupted in May 2023.

He pointed out a significant reduction in firing incidents, from 408 between May and October 2023, to 345 between November 2023 and April 2024, and 112 from May 2024 to the present.

Further underscoring the government’s efforts to curb violence, Singh reported that over 3,000 looted weapons and more than 2,500 explosives have been recovered.

In addition, 625 individuals have been arrested, and over 12,000 FIRs have been filed in connection with the violence.

Since the outbreak of the ethnic conflict, which primarily involved the Meitei community in the Imphal Valley and the Kuki-Zo groups in the surrounding hills, the state has witnessed widespread violence.

The conflict has left over 250 dead and thousands displaced.

Despite the challenges, Singh’s call for unity offers a glimmer of hope that the people of Manipur can heal and move forward toward peace and stability.
