Amidst calls for his resignation, Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh has clarified that he will not be stepping down from his position. Large numbers of women gathered in the streets of Imphal to prevent Singh from going to the Raj Bhavan to submit his resignation. This followed clashes between women and security forces in Imphal after a deadly shootout incident. More than 100 people have lost their lives in the ethnic violence between Meitei and Kuki communities in Manipur.
