Manipur violence: Internet shutdown, ultimatum to withdraw AFSPA, delayed funerals and more

Manipur remains on high alert after violent protests erupted following the discovery of six bodies, including women and children, allegedly abducted and killed by militants in Jiribam district.

Authorities imposed an indefinite curfew across multiple districts of Imphal Valley and suspended internet services in seven districts to curb the unrest.

The discovery has prompted widespread anger, leading to the deployment of army and Assam Rifles personnel to restore order.

The protests, which began Saturday (November 16), saw demonstrators ransack the homes of three state ministers, six legislators, and other political figures, including BJP MLA R.K. Imo, the son-in-law of Chief Minister N. Biren Singh.
