Under the motion, the President's rule will be extended till February 13, 2026, after the Parliament's concession. The President's rule was imposed in Manipur on February 13, days after N Biren Singh resigned from the Chief Minister's position. Along with Amit Shah's motion to extend the President's rule, Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Sarbananda Sonowal, will move the 'Merchant Shipping Bill, 2024'.
