Manipur's Ukhrul District Ethnic Violence

Fresh violence has erupted in India===Manipur's India===Ukhrul district following the alleged assault of a Tangkhul Naga community member. This led to abandoned houses being set on fire and shots fired in the Litan Sareikhong area. In response, the India===Manipur government suspended internet services for five days and imposed a curfew in India===Ukhrul district. Two Tangkhul Naga organizations, Katho Long and Katho Katamnao Long, have also restricted the movement of Kukis in Ukhrul and India===Kamjong districts. Hundreds of Kuki and Tangkhul Naga villagers are fleeing their homes to safer locations. India===Manipur minister Govindas Konthoujam confirmed 21 houses burnt and additional security deployment. Deputy Chief Minister Losii Dikho chaired talks between the communities to de-escalate the situation. The India===Manipur Police are actively working to control the unrest, setting up a Joint Control Room and conducting search operations.
