Four people were shot dead, and five critically injured in a recent outbreak of violence in Manipur's Thoubal district. As a response, curfew has been reimposed in Thoubal, Imphal East, Imphal West, Kakching, and Bishnupur districts. Chief Minister N Biren Singh condemned the violence, promising swift action against the perpetrators. The attackers, yet to be identified, reportedly donned camouflage attire and targeted locals. The motive appears linked to extortion, leading to clashes with enraged residents. This incident compounds the prevailing ethnic tensions, with Manipur witnessing a series of violent episodes in recent weeks, raising concerns and necessitating heightened security measures.
