Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday reviewed the security situation in ethnic violence-hit Manipur amidst reports of fresh incidents of trouble in the northeastern state.
At the high-level meeting, Shah was given a detailed briefing on the prevailing situation in the state by top security officials, sources said.
The home minister took stock of the situation in Manipur a day after the state's Governor Anusuiya Uikey had called on him here. It is believed that Uikey apprised him about the law and order situation there.
There were reports of fresh violence in capital Imphal and Jiribam recently. The Centre is said to be worried over the violence spreading to new areas like Jiribam, which has been by and large peaceful in the last one year, the sources said.
During the meeting, Manipur government representatives said that adequate forces were deployed in the areas where fresh violence were reported, they said.
