According to officials, the Home Minister reviewed the security situation in Manipur on Saturday. Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla, and top officials of the Manipur government, army, and paramilitary forces attended the meeting.

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. Congress' Manipur unit vice-president Hareshwar Goswami told reporters that the President's rule was imposed in the state even though the BJP had an absolute majority in the Assembly. "This is very unfortunate as the BJP is in power at the Centre and the state government was also being run by the same party. This is mainly due to the incompetence of the BJP government in the state," he alleged. Five people including a militant arrested in two districts
Security forces have arrested five people including a militant from Kangpokpi and Kamjong districts of Manipur.
