NEW DELHI: Manipur accounted for around 77% of insurgency-related violence across the Northeast between January 1, 2023 and March 31, 2024, according to the 2023-24 annual report of the ministry of home affairs (MHA).
The MHA report, uploaded on December 30, said that the seven northeastern states—Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Tripura—reported 320 incidents of violence related to insurgents, of which 248 (or 77.5%) were from Manipur during the period.
It further said that Mizoram did not report a single incident since 2019, while Tripura saw no such incident between 2023 and March 31, 2024.
Even as the number of insurgency-related incidents was the highest at 243 in 2023 in all NE states since 2018 (252 incidents), the ministry noted that the increase was primarily due to the ethnic strife in Manipur.
