On Monday, CM N Biren Singh announced the resumption of farming under protection from the forces.
The move was taken by the government amid apprehensions that farmers may not be able to carry out their agricultural activities in the areas where the Imphal valley merges with the hills due to security concerns.
The Manipur government has decided to deploy 2000 odd additional security personnel to guard farmers engaged in cultivation in violence-hit areas of the state.
