President rule in Manipur extended for six months

• On August 5, 2025, the Rajya Sabha passed a resolution to extend the period of President's rule in Manipur by another six months.

• The resolution was introduced in the Upper House by Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai.
• Mr Rai pointed out that inter-community tension had erupted in Manipur due to an order of the High Court.
• It was said that only one violent incident has taken place since the imposition of President's rule.
• The resolution was passed amid protests from Opposition members who were demanding a discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter list in Bihar.
