Meanwhile, the Congress on Thursday hit out at Prime Minis-ter Narendra Modi for his silence on the Manipur violence even 15 days after it erupted.
Congress general secretary Jai-ram Ramesh said while every ac-tivity in Manipur has been affected and internet banned, Union Home Minister Amit Shah or any other cabinet minister is yet to visit the violence- hit northeastern state.
"15 days since the horrific violence erupted in Manipur and internet was banned.
Yesterday, the ban was ex-tended for another 5 days.
"Banking, e-commerce, payments of e-bills, e-tick-ets, businesses, work from home, education, and many other essential services have come to a grinding halt," he said on Twitter.
"Meanwhile, Not a single word issued by Prime Min-ister appealing for peace.
Not a single visit by the Union Home Minister or any other Cabinet Minister to the state," Ramesh said.
The ethnic clashes claimed more than 70 lives and some 10,000 army and paramilitary personnel had to be deployed to bring back normalcy in the northeast-ern state.
