The Lok Sabha approved the extension of President’s Rule in Manipur beyond August 13, 2025, for another six months, pushing central control over the state until February 2026. This decision was made to uphold peace and stability in Manipur, which has been affected by ethnic tensions and disturbances. The statutory resolution was passed with the assurance from the Ministry of Home Affairs that law and order have improved significantly, with minimal fatalities since the rule was imposed. As per the Indian Constitution, President’s Rule can only be extended with Parliamentary approval every six months, making the Lok Sabha’s role crucial in this governance measure.
