Your complete authorities equipment is dedicated to bringing again peace and concord to Manipur, he mentioned, stressing the BJP’s dedication to resolving the scenario shortly as probe into the incidents of violence are being carried out by the Nationwide Investigation Company (NIA), “probably the most environment friendly companies” within the nation.
