00:00Sir, the Chief Minister is still continuing even after so much violence, do you have any plan to fix this?

00:07You can ask questions, you can't argue.

00:10In the recent days, two incidents, three incidents of violence took place.

00:15Apart from this, no major incident took place in the last three months.

00:19We are discussing this with the Kuki group and also with the Matai group.

00:30Sir, when you went to Manipur last year, you said that you will go back in 15 days.

00:44And after your arrival, there is violence in the waves.

00:47Recently, there was a murder of 11 people.

00:50There was also a rumor that the Chief Minister has been asked to resign.

00:57Who told you this?

00:59I said it was a rumor, sir.

01:01And there was also a lot of stone in the Governor's house, which we don't see anywhere else in any part of the country.

01:06So what is the strategy for Manipur in 100 days?

01:09See, as far as Manipur is concerned, in 100 days, we have started the fencing of the incident at the Myanmar-India border.

01:23The 30-kilometer fencing has been completed.

01:26And the budget for fencing has been approved by the Indian government.

01:35Number two, we have successfully launched the CRPF at strategic locations.

01:48Number three, we have also brought a law to stop the violence between Myanmar and India.

02:08Number four, we have also completed many security lapses at such a large border.

02:19Recently, there were two incidents, three violent incidents.

02:24Apart from this, there were no major incidents in the last three months.

02:29Now, there is still peace in Manipur for three days.

02:33I hope that we will be able to take control of this very well.

02:38We also have a dialogue with both the localities.

02:44Because this is genuine violence.

02:46Until there is a dialogue and a solution between the two, no result can be obtained.

02:52We are also discussing with the Kuki group and the Matai group.

02:57And in the coming days, we have made a roadmap to make all kinds of efforts.
