The annual celebrations also took place during the ethnic riots between the Kuki-Meitei sects in Manipur. The Prime Minister has not yet visited Manipur since the insurgency started last year. It is interesting to note that the Prime Minister came to greet him while criticizing this, including the opposition. Incidents of violence are still being reported from Manipur.
Manipur, Tripura and Meghalaya got statehood in 1972. The princely states of Manipur and Tripura joined India in October 1949. After independence, Meghalaya was a part of Assam. They got statehood in 1972 after the North Eastern Region (Reorganization) Act, 1971 came into force.
