    Manipur: Centre forms peace committee to facilitate dialog among groups

    What's the story

    Days after Union Home Minister Amit Shah's announcement, a peace committee in violence-hit Manipur has been constituted, reported India Today.

    The panel, chaired by Governor Anusuiya Uikey, included CM N Biren Singh, cabinet ministers, MPs, MLAs, and leaders from several political parties.

    Representatives of ethnic groups, civil servants, social workers, literalists, educationalists, and artists are also members of the committee.

    Details

    Committee to initiate dialog, negotiations between ethnic groups

    The committee will facilitate the peace-making process among different ethnic groups in the state involved in the clashes that began on May 3.

    The panel would also strengthen social cohesiveness and mutual understanding and clear the way for cordial communication between the communities.

    This comes a day after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) formed a 10-member special investigation team (SIT).

    Reason

    Clashes broke out after protest against Meiteis' demand 

    Notably, the violence in Manipur began after a Tribal Solidarity March was organized on May 3 to protest against the Meitei community's demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status.

    The Meitei community accounts for 53% of the state's population, while tribals, Nagas and Kukis, constitute another 40%.

    The tribal people are concerned that granting Meiteis the ST status will limit their benefits and prospects.
