Satyendra Grag, Joint Secretary (NE), Union Ministry of Home Affairs, attended as representative of the India Government.

In the last round talk held on March 23, the UNC had straight away stated that there will be no agreement unless the government of Manipur rolls back the creation of the new districts.

In today's talk , the points agreed during the last talk at the same place were reviewed and UNC representatives showed strong reaction to the non adherence of the three points.

As per source the UNC stated that there was non adherence to the 4 memorandum of understanding with the government of Manipur and the government of India 's assurance on the matter.

The UNC also stated that the state government had assured to issue advisory to concern authorities to ease out problem faced by general public subsequent to creation of new districts and also assured to finalize its stand on the UNC demand by April 10, 2018 and to inform the matter to both the Government of India and the UNC.

As none of the assurance could be presented in today's meeting from the side of the Government of Manipur the state government representatives agreed to prepare concrete proposal in the next round of talks which will be held on July 28, 2018 .
