Imphal, December 26 2012:
Owing to the present unrest prevailing in the State following molestation of an actress and firing at two other actors, Chief Minister O Ibobi will not attend the meeting of National Development Council.
All the Chief Ministers of the country will take part in the meeting which will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh tomorrow.
However, Chief Secretary DS Poonia has left Imphal to attend the meeting, said a source.
On the otherhand, as the State would not be able to bring out the final electoral roll on January 14 due to the present turmoil, the State Government would request the Election Commission to defer the said schedule for Manipur, said another source.
A joint meeting of the EROs presided by CEO O Nabakishore decided to request the ECI to postpone the schedule.
Meanwhile, the State Cabinet discussed the present situation of the State in a Cabinet meeting held today with Chief Minister O Ibobi on the chair.
