Imphal, Dec 23 (IBNS) : Union Minister of state for Home Kiren Rijiju on Friday said the Centre is monitoring the situation in trouble-torn Manipur and will give all help to the state.

"The Government is monitoring the situation in Manipur. All help will be provided to the state it needs," he said on his official visit to the state.

Rijiju met Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh to take the stock of the ongoing crisis in the state after  the United Naga Council (UNC)  announced blockade since November 1.

The blockade was organised in protest against the state Government’s decision to curve out two districts. 

Ever since then, the state is reeling under economic crisis, leading to protests in several parts. 

Earlier on Friday, authorities  relaxed the curfew from 4 AM till 9 PM, at the Imphal East District.
