Manipur Assembly passes third resolution urging Centre to update NRC before census

The Manipur Legislative Assembly has passed a resolution urging the central government to update the National Register of Citizens (NRC). This marks the third such resolution adopted by the assembly since 2022, reflecting persistent legislative pressure on the issue. The Centre had previously deferred the census exercise in Manipur following a high-level meeting, citing the sentiments and aspirations of the state's people. Protests have continued in the region, with demonstrators demanding a clear and concrete roadmap for the NRC update process.
