Imphal: Manipur is witnessing a collapse of state authority as New Delhi\u2019s militarized approach continues to deepen alienation and instability in the state.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, despite the deployment of heavy security forces, Indian military convoys and paramilitary units have been attacked multiple times by local groups, exposing New Delhi\u2019s failure to address underlying grievances.<\/p>\n
