Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma to visit Manipur tomorrow, meet CM N Biren Singh

Guwahati (Assam) [India], June 9 : Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma will visit Manipur on Saturday.
According to the sources, the Assam CM will meet his Manipur counterpart N Biren Singh and others in the backdrop of the ongoing tense situation in the state.
The Supreme Court on Friday declined the urgent listing of a plea against the suspension of internet services in the violence-hit state of Manipur since May 3, saying High Court is seized of the matter.
"High Court is seized of the matter. Why are you duplicating it? Let it come before the regular bench", said a vacation bench of Justices Aniruddha Bose and Rajesh Bindal.
The ban on the internet was imposed on May 3 and remains in effect till now.
Earlier, the top court expressed concern over the loss of lives and properties in Manipur during the violence between the Meitei and Kuki communities and stressed taking adequate measures to restore normalcy there.
On March 27, the High Court directed the State to consider the inclusion of the Meitei community in the Scheduled Tribes list.
The violence in Manipur between the Hindu Meiteis and the tribal Kuki, who are Christians, erupted after a rally by the All Tribal Students Union of Manipur (ATSUM) on May 3.
Violence has gripped the entire State for now a month and the Central government had to deploy paramilitary forces to bring the situation under control.
