Violence in Manipur
Deeply saddened by the tragic incident in Manipur. 6 innocent lives (3 women & 3 minors) from Meitei community were kidnapped & killed by terrorists. Condemn terrorism! Demand severe punishment for culprits. #JusticeForManipur #NoToTerrorism pic.twitter.com/2uzPgmfapg

Fresh incidents of violent protests erupted on Saturday night, despite an indefinite curfew being imposed. The unrest followed public outrage over the killing of three women and three children by militants in Jiribam district. Earlier, on November 16, agitated citizens had attacked the residences of three state ministers and six MLAs. For the unversed, more than 200 people have been killed and thousands rendered homeless in ethnic violence between Imphal-based Meiteis and adjoining hills-based Kukis in Manipur since May last year.
