The Manipur Legislative Assembly unanimously passes a resolution urging the Government of India to update the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the state before conducting the Census. NDTV reports the resolution is adopted in the interest of the state and the nation, while Times of India notes it is the assembly’s third resolution on the issue.
Times of India adds that the Centre has deferred the census exercise in Manipur after a high-level meeting, citing considerations of the people’s feelings and aspirations. The outlet also reports ongoing protests in Manipur demanding a clear roadmap for updating the NRC. While NDTV focuses on the assembly’s passage of the resolution, Times of India provides additional context on the Centre’s deferral and the public pressure surrounding NRC update plans.
