Guwahati, May 21 -- The Commission of Inquiry (CoI) investigating the ethnic violence in Manipur has been granted its third extension, with a new deadline to submit its report to the Central Government by November 20, 2025.

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) stated in its latest notification that the report should be submitted "as soon as possible but not later than November 20, 2025."

According to the sources, the CoI, established by the MHA on June 4, 2023, was initially mandated to submit its findings within six months of its first sitting, but the complexity of the situation has necessitated these multiple extensions. The commission's previous extension was until May 20, 2025.
