Explained: Why Manipur Is On The Boil Again | Read
Unrest has broken out in Manipur again over the last two days. Violent protests have continued in the valley and the houses of several ministers and MLAs were attacked by mobs. Now tension simmers in the Imphal valley region as civil society groups have given an ultimatum to the Centre and the state government to take "decisive action" against armed groups or face public anger.
Last night, huge mobs gathered and attacked the residences and properties of ministers and MLAs, angered by the continued violence for months together.
The trigger was the news of recovery of decomposed bodies of six persons who were allegedly taken hostage after the Jiribam shootout, where 10 Kuki militants died.
