President’s Rule was imposed in Manipur on Thursday, four days after N Biren Singh resigned as the Chief Minister of the northeastern state. The assembly has also been put under suspended animation, news agency PTI reported.

Announcing the proclamation of Central rule, a notification issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs stated that President Droupadi Murmu is of the opinion that “a situation has arisen in which the government of that state cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution”.
