Government of India is seized of the situation in Manipur, arising out of recent developments that have caused tensions. It is reiterated that Government of India is committed to finding a solution to all related issues. The Central Government has, for this purpose, recently appointed Shri R.N. Ravi, as the interlocutor with the mandate to find a negotiated solution in a time-bound manner. However, it is imperative that a conducive atmosphere exists for these talks to take place. Government of India calls upon all concerned to help maintain a conducive atmosphere and desist from violence. Government of India, therefore, expects the Naga organizations to withdraw the call for economic blockade and the ban on national projects, which will cause serious inconvenience and hardship to the common people.
