Tensions flared in Manipur after a large crowd gathered outside a hospital in Imphal to protest the treatment of three Kuki men injured during an armed attack in Kangpokpi district. The protesters opposed admitting the victims to the valley-based medical facility, prompting authorities to deploy security forces and tighten arrangements around the hospital. The incident highlighted the continuing ethnic divide between Meitei and Kuki communities amid the prolonged conflict in the State. Officials appealed for calm and ensured medical care for the injured, while efforts were made to prevent the situation from escalating further.
