The Manipuri organisations from Tripura have also called for an effective intervention by the central government into the matter.
“We are of the view that the state government as well as central government have failed to tackle the situation promptly before the situation escalated beyond control. We are also of the view that violence in Manipur is the product of the divisive communal forces,” the memorandum stated.
It further said: “It is very unfortunate that the violent situation in Manipur is not under control till date even after the imposition of Article 355 followed by the deployment of a large scale Central security forces.”

“It appears that all efforts being made by the union home minister during his visit and stay in Manipur in the last week of May ended completely in vain,” the memorandum added.
