New Delhi, July 1 : Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today said the situation in conflict-torn Manipur is "fast improving", and it will further improve in the next week or 10 days. Slamming the Congress, he said it is "crying" when relative peace has been established in the northeastern state, but was silent during the peak of the ethnic conflict.

"The Congress is crying about Manipur when relative peace has come. They should have cried when there was a volatile situation. At that time, they neither went to Manipur nor commented on it. Now, Manipur is almost limping back to normalcy, and now they are talking about it," he can be heard saying in a video tweeted by news agency ANI. 

He further "guaranteed" that the situation in the state is better than what it was a month back, and that the Home Ministry and the Manipur government are "silently working" towards it.
