Imphal, June 30: Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh has announced his decision not to resign from his position despite the high-voltage drama that unfolded outside his residence on June 30. A large crowd of people gathered, urging him to continue as the chief minister.
In a significant turn of events, a group of women also blocked the road leading to the Governor’s residence, putting pressure on Singh not to step down.

Previously, a meeting between Chief Minister Biren Singh and Governor Anusuiya Uikey was scheduled to take place between 2:00-3:00 PM on June 30, and Singh had planned to submit his resignation during the meeting.
