‘Prez’s rule may be considered in Manipur’

“The Centre may consider it if situation in the militancy-affected state worsens,” he said, adding other options might also be considered.

Raju was speaking at a function at Sainik School at Palgei, about 10 kms from Imphal.

The Centre, he said, would also look into alleged violations of “suspension of operation” (SOO) agreement entered by militant outfits with the army and para military forces.

Kuki militant outfits like the Kuki National Army had signed SOO agreement with the security forces in 2005.
