In Manipur, India, a three-day shutdown called by Naga civil bodies has severely disrupted daily activities in the valley districts. Protests intensified on Tuesday, forcing Chief Minister Y Khemchand Singh to travel by helicopter for a 26-kilometer stretch to avoid confrontations in Wangjing. The Manipur Police reported that a large group, armed with stones and catapults, approached the site of a planned function, allegedly intending to vandalize a newly constructed Block Development Office (BDO). Despite warnings, the crowd's aggressive advance prompted police to apply minimum necessary force. Ultimately, controlled firing was conducted as a last resort to disperse the mob, resulting in the injury of one person, identified as Elangbam Nandbir Singh, a 40-year-old Village Defence Force Special Police Officer. The situation was subsequently brought under control.
