In the meanwhile, the state's ban on internet access has been extended by another five days, to Wednesday, July 5.

Digital Desk: On July 5 (Wednesday), classes 1 to 8 will resume in Manipur, a nation plagued by conflict. State Chief Minister N Biren Singh made this announcement.

It is to be noted that after the ethnic riots that erupted in the state in May, schools were closed for about two months.

In addition, the government has decided to place security and paramilitary forces in sensitive locations, according to Biren Singh during the news conference. Additionally, he stated that the bunkers placed along the hill and valley districts would be taken down and that more state soldiers had been mobilised to offer security to Meitei and Kuki farmers so that agricultural activities could begin.

In the meanwhile, the state's ban on internet access has been extended by another five days, to Wednesday, July 5.

After rumours of Singh's resignation from the position of CM began to circulate last week, a major drama broke out. He had already decided to resign from his position, but a large throng gathered in front of his house to show support for his government.

The Chief Minister was forced to turn around due to the insurmountable mob as he and 20 MLAs left his home with the intention of meeting the Governor. After some time had passed, several ministers addressed the assembled crowd under the direction of the Minister of Public Works Department (PWD).

The resignation letter that had been prepared to be submitted to the Governor was read aloud by Minister Susidro Metitei. Then several of the women in the audience were given the paper, and they started tearing it apart.

Singh tweeted afterward, "At this crucial juncture, I wish to clarify that I will not be resigning from the post of Chief Minister."
