Fresh unrest engulfed Manipur on June 7–8, 2025, after security forces arrested a leader of the Meitei outfit Arambai Tenggol, reportedly Kanan Singh. Protesters torched tyres, buses, and furniture in Imphal and gheraoed the airport, with gunfire heard during clashes with security personnel . Authorities imposed a total curfew in Bishnupur and prohibitory orders in Imphal East, West, Thoubal, and Kakching. Internet and mobile data services—including VSAT and VPN—were suspended across these five districts for five days to prevent inflammatory content circulation . Tensions remain high amid symbolic self-immolation threats, central force deployments, and mounting fears of further escalation. (PC: NDTV)
