Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday held a meeting with top officials of the Manipur government to review the security situation and the rehabilitation of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the violence-hit northeastern state, media reports said.

The meeting, held in the national capital, was attended by Manipur Governor Ajay Bhalla, Security Adviser Kuldiep Singh, Director General of Police Rajiv Singh, and Chief Secretary Puneet Goel. The review comes ahead of February 13, 2026, marking one year since the imposition of President’s Rule in Manipur.

Manipur has been reeling under ethnic violence between the Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities since May 3, 2023, which has led to widespread displacement and loss of lives and property.

Last month, the Manipur government initiated the rehabilitation process by relocating a group of Meitei IDPs to their homes near buffer zones adjoining the hill areas predominantly inhabited by the Kuki-Zo community. However, within 24 hours of the first relocation, militants from the hill areas reportedly opened fire towards the villages in protest against the move.

Officials said nearly 50,000 people continue to reside in relief camps across the state as efforts to restore normalcy and ensure safe rehabilitation remain a major challenge for the administration.
