Besides this, he also informed that the state government has filed an FIR against the members of the Editors Guild who are trying to create more clashes in the state of Manipur.

The case has been filed against the three members -- Seema Guha, Bharat Bhusan, and Sanjay Kapoor, said the Manipur Chief Minister.

On the other hand, the Editors Guild has yet to respond to the FIR filed against its members.

The development comes after the Editors Guild of India on September 2 released a report of its 'Fact-finding Mission on Media's reportage of the ethnic violence in Manipur'.
