A political dispute has emerged within the Manipur state government following allegations made by Deputy Chief Minister Losii Dikho. According to Dikho, Deputy Chief Minister Nemcha Kipgen turned off her mobile phone during a critical period following the abduction of several individuals from the Naga community. This accusation suggests a breakdown in communication among state leadership during a time of heightened ethnic and social tension in the region.

The incident underscores the broader challenges facing the Manipur administration as it struggles to manage security and inter-community relations. While Dikho’s statement points to a specific instance of administrative unresponsiveness, it also reflects deeper concerns regarding the coordination of the state’s response to kidnappings and violence. As of now, Nemcha Kipgen has not publicly responded to the specific claim regarding her availability or the status of her communication devices during the events mentioned. The lack of a unified response from the state’s top leadership has raised questions about the government's ability to address the security crisis effectively. The situation remains fluid, with observers noting that such public finger-pointing between high-ranking officials may further complicate efforts to restore stability in the conflict-prone state.
