Why in news
Union Home Ministry reimposes Protected Area Regime (PAR) in Manipur, Nagaland, and Mizoram due to security concerns over foreign influx.
Foreigners must now obtain prior permission and special permits to visit these states.
Relaxation of PAR, granted in 2010 to boost tourism, was withdrawn after 14 years.
The reimposition follows concerns about growing security risks and external influence.
Foreigners must comply with the Foreigners (Protected Areas) Order, 1958 for entry.
Manipur government rejects the legitimacy of the "Kuki-Zo Council" and urges media not to publicize unverified groups.
A Kuki-Zo community group warned the Chief Minister against traveling through Kuki-dominated areas, raising tensions.
