Moreh Violence

A second Manipur Police commando has died amid renewed violence in Moreh, a small but significant trading town located a few hundred metres from the Myanmar border.

The Manipur government has asked the Centre to send helicopters to the state capital Imphal on a day fresh violence broke out in the border town Moreh.

A Manipur Police commando was killed today in an attack in the border town Moreh, 110 km from the state capital Imphal. Firing has been going on since morning, government sources said.

Fresh violence in the border town of Moreh in Manipur has cast a shadow over the 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra,' a nationwide march planned by the Congress party, as the state government is yet to grant permission for the event.

The nature of the violence in Manipur has shifted from clashes between two communities to attacks by insurgents on security forces now, Chief Minister N Biren Singh told NDTV in an exclusive interview.

Kuki groups have refuted Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh's allegations that foreign insurgents could be involved in the attacks on police commandos and the Border Security Force (BSF) in the border town Moreh.

From a daytime ambush on a police convoy by suspected insurgents to a nighttime rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) attack on the barracks of police commandos, Manipur's border town Moreh saw violence on the last day of 2023.

A convoy of Manipur Police commandos drove into the India-Myanmar border town Moreh on Tuesday night following the killing of a senior officer by insurgents. The commandos, who were ambushed by insurgents, pressed on and reached the town at midnight.

Over 200 Indians who fled to neighbouring Myanmar from the border town Moreh in Manipur when ethnic violence broke out on May 3 have safely returned home, Chief Minister N Biren Singh said today in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

Over 1,000 women on Monday staged a protest in Manipur's Churachandpur demanding immediate removal of state police forces from Moreh town.

Just two days ago, violence erupted in Moreh after a group of women, shopping for essentials during a curfew relaxation, were allegedly accosted and attacked by security forces.

A Manipur town bordering Myanmar has seen a fresh burst of violence, with a transit camp of security forces being attacked by a mob of people, prompting an exchange of fire. A forest department building has also been set ablaze.

A group of people set fire to several houses in Manipur's Moreh district today, officials said. The abandoned houses were in the Moreh Bazar area, close to the Myanmar border.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah held a review meeting in this border town on Wednesday to take stock of the security situation in the northeastern state which has been witnessing sporadic violence for nearly a month.

Amid clashes in several districts of Manipur, the Army said the situation has been brought under control in Moreh and Kangpokpi.
