After the lifting of President’s Rule in Manipur, a new government was formed under the leadership of Yumnam Khemchand Singh, but within just 24 hours of its formation, unrest erupted again in the state.
मणिपुर में फिर बवाल, सरकार गठन के 24 घंटे बाद ही भड़की हिंसा, कुकी समूहों के बुलाए बंद से जनजीवन प्रभावित
Just 24 hours after the formation of the new government in the northeastern Indian state of Manipur, the situation appears to be deteriorating once again. Violence erupted in Churachandpur district during the swearing-in ceremony of Deputy Chief Ministers Nemcha Kipgen and Losii Dikho. Clashes broke out between security forces and protesters during the event, forcing police to use tear gas to control the situation.
Fresh unrest in the state just 24 hours after the formation of the government
It is worth noting that Manipur has long been plagued by ethnic violence. Considering this, the central government had imposed President’s Rule in the state last year. Recently, after the lifting of President’s Rule, a new government was formed under the leadership of Yumnam Khemchand Singh, but just 24 hours after its formation, unrest has flared up again in the state.
Kuki MLAs warned not to participate in the formation of the state government
In Churachandpur, groups from the Kuki community took to the streets and warned their community’s MLAs not to participate in the formation of the state government. A complete shutdown was called in the district as part of the protest. Incidents of firing were also reported in several areas. The Joint Front 7 has announced a 12-hour shutdown in Kuki-Zo dominated areas.
In fact, there is widespread resentment within the Kuki-Zo community over the appointment of Nemcha Kipgen, an MLA from the Kuki-Zo community, as Deputy Chief Minister in the Khemchand government and the support of two other MLAs. These protests led to demonstrations in Churachandpur district, escalating tensions in the Tuibong area. The situation remained tense throughout the day, with fierce clashes between protesters and security forces. Additional security forces have been deployed across the region to prevent the situation from worsening.
