President’s rule imposed in Manipur

New Delhi, Feb 13: President’s rule was imposed in Manipur on Thursday, four days after Chief Minister N Biren Singh resigned from his position.

The assembly has also been put under suspended animation.

“Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by Article 356 of the Constitution, and of all other powers enabling me in that behalf, I hereby proclaim that I – assume to myself as President of India all functions of the Government of the State of Manipur and all powers vested in or exercisable by the Governor of that State,” the notification said.

The assembly has been put under suspended animation, the notification added. (PTI)
