Manipur News: Unrest Continues in Manipur—Eye-Witness Report from Imphal’s Streets | ABP News

ABP News  

Manipur is once again engulfed in violence, with the recent surge of unrest bringing peace in the region under severe threat. The origins of the violence trace back to early 2023 when the Manipur High Court urged the state government to consider including the Meitei community in the Scheduled Tribe list. The demand for Scheduled Tribe status for the Meitei community has been a major source of contention, particularly with the Kuki tribal people opposing it. To address the ongoing violence, the CRPF has deployed 16 battalions in Manipur, with two additional battalions recently assigned to bolster security. The violence has claimed over 200 lives and continues to disrupt normalcy in the state, with many people from the affected Meitei and Kuki communities still residing in relief camps or seeking refuge in neighboring states like Mizoram.
