Imphal: The Centre has said it may consider imposing President's Rule in Manipur if situation in the militancy-affected state worsens.

Union Minister of State for Defence M M Palam Raju said that as of now there is no move to impose President's Rule in Manipur.

"The Centre may consider it if situation in the militancy-affected state worsens," he said, adding other options might also be considered.

Raju was speaking at a function at Sainik School at Palgei, about 10 kms from here.

The Centre, he said, would also look into alleged violations of "suspension of operation" (SOO) agreement entered by militant outfits with the army and para military forces.

Kuki militant outfits like the Kuki National Army had signed SOO agreement with the security forces in 2005.
