Ethnic Clashes in Manipur Result in Civilian Deaths and Property Damage
Recent ethnic violence in Manipur's Tamenglong and Kangpokpi districts has resulted in multiple deaths and property damage. Two Kuki-Zo women were shot dead while working in Tamenglong, with local groups alleging involvement of Naga insurgent factions. In retaliation, suspected Kuki militants attacked a Naga village in Kangpokpi, setting houses ablaze and exchanging fire with security forces. The conflict, ongoing since early 2023, has caused over 300 deaths, thousands displaced, and significant economic losses, including a reported ₹1,200 crore decline in GST revenue.
