As reported by Sangai Express, Singh received calls from New Delhi on Thursday, June 29, in which he was offered the option to put in his papers or the Centre would take over the administration.

Lot of drama unfolded in Imphal when Manipur CM was stopped by his supporters – mainly women – from going to Raj Bhavan to meet the governor.  Notably, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi made a crucial two-day visit to Manipur and met various stakeholders in the state.

He also visited relief camps and interacted with children and family members affected with month-long violence in the state.
