Manipur Assembly Urges NRC Update Ahead of Census

The Manipur Legislative Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution on Wednesday calling for an update of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the state before the forthcoming national census. The resolution was passed by all members of the assembly, reflecting a unified stance that an updated NRC would benefit both Manipur and the broader nation. The lawmakers emphasized that the timing of the census should not proceed without first ensuring the NRC reflects current demographic realities.
