Union Home Minister Amit Shah has reviewed the situation in violence-ridden Manipur and asked the senior security officials to take effective steps to prevent violence and maintain peace in the Northeastern state, officials said.
Officials said that the Home Minister rushed to the national capital on Sunday after cutting short his campaign in poll-bound Maharashtra and held a meeting with top Home Ministry and security officials.
“The home minister during the review meeting directed the top security officials to undertake all possible steps to maintain peace and normalcy,” a senior official said, refusing to be named.
