Former Union Home Secretary Bhalla extended the deadline for depositing looted and illegal weapons till 4 pm on Friday, March 6, giving people demanding additional time.
President's rule imposed due to BJP government's incompetence: Congress.
The Congress on Friday criticized the imposition of the President's rule in Manipur, alleging that the move was taken mainly due to the incompetence of the BJP government in the state.
