In her letter to President Murmu, Maliwal said that Manipur has been engulfed in ethnic clashes since May 2023, that have led to the loss of over 150 lives, destruction of thousands of houses and several places of cultural and religious significance, as well as displacement of
countless families.

"However, what is equally distressing is the widespread sexual violence that has been perpetrated against women during this period of turmoil," the DCW head wrote in the letter.

Sharing her experience from the Manipur visit, Maliwal said, "I humbly request your hon'ble self to use your esteemed office to impose President's rule in Manipur and direct the concerned authorities to take swift and resolute action in response
to the atrocities committed therein."
