On Saturday, protests in Imphal, Manipur, turned violent as demonstrators clashed with security forces during a mass rally organized by the Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI). The protests were sparked by the killing of two Meitei children in Bishnupur on April 7. The rally commenced from eight locations across Imphal East and Imphal West districts, aiming to reach the Chief Minister's Bungalow. However, tensions escalated as security personnel attempted to restrict the protesters' movement, leading to confrontations in areas such as Keishampat and Singjamei, with reports of injuries among demonstrators. COCOMI's demands include a judicial inquiry into the recent killings, resettlement for displaced persons, and action against narco-terrorism. COCOMI spokesperson Nahakpam Shanta criticized the government for failing to address previous assurances regarding the resettlement of internally displaced persons (IDPs). Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh called for dialogue to resolve the unrest, highlighting its impact on daily wage earners and children's education.
