Meira Paibi activists held a torch rally in Imphal, Manipur, demanding an update on the National Register of Citizens, or NRC. The rally brought the demand into public view through a night-time demonstration in the state capital.

The action focused on the status of the NRC update, but no further details were provided on the activists’ demands, the number of participants or the government’s response. The account also did not specify whether officials have set a timeline for the update or announced any next step.
The NRC is a citizenship register intended to identify Indian citizens through a document-based verification process. In Manipur, any such exercise would depend on rules set by the Union government and the administrative machinery handling claims, objections and appeals. The process can affect people who lack consistent birth, residence or family records, making the eventual eligibility rules and appeal safeguards important. The next concrete signal will be an official announcement on whether an update is planned and what documents or procedure it would require.
