Proposal to rework Manipur's district boundaries

Context

Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh has proposed to address the state’s ongoing ethnic tensions by revisiting and potentially redrawing district boundaries. This initiative aims to address administrative and ethnic divisions that have exacerbated conflicts between the Meitei community and the Kuki tribes.

Reason Behind Division

  • Ethnic Tensions: The state has experienced severe clashes between the valley-dominant Meitei community and the Kuki tribes who inhabit the hill areas. These clashes have led to over 220 deaths and displaced nearly 50,000 people.
  • Administrative Issues: The creation and expansion of districts, such as Kangpokpi, have been viewed as politically motivated and based on ethnic lines, contributing to current conflicts. The Kangpokpi district, for instance, surrounds the Imphal valley and has created tensions with neighboring districts like Bishnupur and Churachandpur.

Constitutional provisions regarding the reorganisation of states in India

  • The constitutional provisions regarding the reorganization of states in India primarily lie in Articles 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the Constitution. These provisions grant the Parliament the authority to admit new states, establish new states, and alter the boundaries, areas, or names of existing states.
  • Article 3 of the Indian Constitution allows Parliament to reorganize states and territories within India through legislation.
    • Create New States: Form new states from existing ones or from territories.
    • Combine States: Merge two or more states or parts of states into a single state.
    • Alter Boundaries: Change the boundaries of existing states.
    • Add or Remove Territory: Add new territories to a state or remove parts from it.
    • Rename States: Change the name of a state.
  • Parliament has the exclusive and complete authority to make these changes, reflecting the principle that "India is an indestructible Union of destructible units," meaning that while the Indian Union is permanent, the individual states can be reorganized.
  • The President's recommendation is a prerequisite for introducing such bills, and the concerned state legislature's views are considered. However, Parliament has the ultimate authority to pass legislation related to state reorganization.
