Manipur Violence: Tension grips Imphal, protest erupts as violence claims lives

Violence in Manipur has been simmering for a few days and doesn`t seem to die down. A large number of people across the Imphal East district came out to the street and protested a day after 9 civilians were killed on June 14 in Manipur violence. A large team of RAF, AR, and state police rushed to the spot to take control of the situation as a large number of people blocked roads in Bamon Leikai, Wangkhei, and Kongba areas. The area in the jurisdiction of Imphal East has seen such incidents of violence over the last two-three days. Notably, HM Amit Shah visited Manipur in late May and announced a series of measures to restore peace in the state.
