In Manipur, India, normal life has come to a standstill in the valley districts due to a five-day shutdown called by civil society groups. This action follows a tragic bomb attack in Bishnupur district that resulted in the deaths of two minors. The government has made an appeal for the protesters to withdraw the shutdown, highlighting the severe disruption it has caused to everyday activities. Educational institutions and markets are closed, and public transportation has been suspended across the affected areas. Additionally, Naga organizations have announced a three-day shutdown starting from midnight, further compounding the situation. Protests have intensified since April 7, when the children were killed by a mortar shell that struck their home in Tronglaobi Awang Leikai. Various groups, including women, have organized sit-ins and nighttime protests, often clashing with security forces. The Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity has also declared a boycott of all activities related to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the region. Manipur's minister K Govindas Singh noted that 88 out of 272 companies of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) deployed in the state have been withdrawn due to elections in West Bengal.
