Manipur CM N. Biren Singh resigned after a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi.
He submitted his resignation to Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla, who accepted it and asked him to stay in office until alternative arrangements are made.
If no one stakes claim to form a new government, President's Rule may be imposed in Manipur.
A virtual meeting was held to review security, with instructions for high alert due to potential violence and insurgent activity.
The resignation follows a Supreme Court order to investigate alleged audio recordings involving Singh and violence against the Kuki-Zo community.
He thanked the Centre for its support and reiterated his stand on issues like border infiltration and the FMR (Free Movement Regime) policy.
