Manipur Violence: Fresh Clashes Erupt Between Kuki Community and Security Forces in Kangpokpi

Violence flared up once again in Manipur’s Kangpokpi district as clashes erupted between the Kuki community and security forces. The unrest broke out on the very first day of Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s newly announced “free movement” policy. Protesting against this directive, members of the Kuki community blocked security vehicles in their area, leading to a confrontation. When security forces attempted to disperse the protesters, the situation turned violent, resulting in intense clashes. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions in the state, where ethnic conflicts have been a recurring issue. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation to prevent further escalation. The latest unrest has raised fresh concerns about law and order in Manipur, as both the government and local communities struggle to find a resolution to the ongoing conflicts.
