The UNC has been protesting against the creation of the 7 new districts, alleging that the new districts would encroach the ancestral land of the Nagas.

The Tripartite talks between the Centre, the Manipur Government, and representatives of the United Naga Council, on the rollback of 7 newly created districts will resume today in New Delhi.

Earlier, AK Mishra, Advisor to the Ministry of Home Affairs on North East, had addressed the President of the United Naga Council, which is the Apex Naga Body in Manipur, to resume talks on October 11, requesting to make it convenient to attend the meeting along with his team.

The central team will be led by AK Mishra. With the non-availability of any update from the state Govt, it is likely that a cabinet minister or an MLA may lead the state team along with the state chief secretary and DGP.
