Manipur violence inquiry gets extended to May 2027

A three-member panel investigating the deadly Meitei-Kuki clashes in Manipur has received another reprieve, with its report deadline pushed to May 20, 2027, according to the Hindustan Times. Originally expected to complete its work within six months of starting in June 2023, the commission has now been extended six times.

Led by retired Justice B.S. Chauhan, the inquiry examines what triggered the violence that began in May 2023. Meanwhile, Manipur remains volatile, with fresh fighting between Naga and Kuki communities claiming over 65 lives. A recent ambush killed four Naga residents, illustrating the continuing turmoil despite the ongoing investigation.
