Thousands Protest in Manipur Valley Over Ethnic Violence and Government Response
Thousands protested across Manipur's Meitei-dominated valley districts against recent ethnic violence and the government's failure to restore peace. Demonstrators banged utensils, struck electric poles, and honked horns in a 'sound protest' organized by the Federation of Haomee. In Imphal, protesters marched toward Kangla fort near the governor's residence but were stopped by security forces, who fired tear gas to disperse some crowds. The protests followed killings in Kuki-dominated Kangpokpi district, with authorities conducting searches and arrests related to the violence.
