What happened
The prolonged crisis in Manipur has caused a drastic decrease in tourist inflow, which the Chief Minister states has taken a heavy toll on the state’s tourism sector. Separately, a group of 29 civil society organizations called for the immediate withdrawal of Suspension of Operations (SoO) agreements, arguing they have failed to reduce violence or lead to disarmament. The North East India Regional Bishops' Council also appealed to the State and Central Governments for sincere dialogue and justice to secure lasting peace.
Why it matters
The state’s tourism industry is struggling to recover, with tourist arrivals drastically decreasing compared to pre-crisis levels. Furthermore, critics argue that the existing SoO arrangements have allowed armed groups to build up their military and financial strength rather than promoting peace.
