Manipur witnesses a 48-hour bandh called by the Joint Action Committee in response to the alleged killing of village guard Takhellambam Manoranjan Singh. The bandh, from January 20 to 22, paralyzed normal life, impacting marketplaces, towns, and transport services. The committee demanded government action within a 24-hour ultimatum, including the removal of Central forces, withdrawal of Kuki militant groups' SoO agreement, and implementation of the National Register of Citizens. Manipur grapples with heightened violence, with seven recent casualties and ongoing ethnic tensions. The bandh underscores the community's demand for enhanced security measures amid the volatile situation.
