IMPHAL, March 23: On the occasion of the 26th anniversary of the organisation in the service of the indigenous peoples of Manipur and the North East territories of India, the Centre for Organisation Research & Education expresses grave concerns with the state of democracy and human rights, its protection and promotion, in the small frontier province of Manipur. Over the past decade, a number of inter-linked and parallel undesirable trends have emerged in the state of democracy and human rights in Manipur. On the other hand, some progressive developments have also occurred, though such developments are small, and impacts on the ground yet to be assessed.
